Angoron holds the last deposits of high-grade mithiuum ore in the northern hemisphere, on the planet Dragu lll, and Spandrom, in the southern hemisphere, has the technology to process it. The high grade ore is vital to the Trannur Federation's aggressive ambitions for total dominations of Dragu lll, and Spandrom's desperate need for high-grade mithiuum ore in order to continue their on-going expansion in the southern hemisphere.
When Angoron balks at supplying Trannur the ore, hordes of Felineoid Trannur warriors sweep across the Angoron border, killing, raping, and torching, in their sweep across the land.
The carnage is complete by the time Laador, the Felenoid Supreme Field Commander, entered the Capitol City of Ara Goron. He strode into the Royal Palace and personally slew all but one of the royal family; sixteen-year-old, Princess Samorn.
Thus begins a story of stormy passions, and intrigue in the highest echelons of Trannurian government. The young Princess' lustful Laador appoints the female Trannur officer, O'Tamba, who falls in love with him, as guardian to the Princess. O'Tamba, and Princess Samorn, is at the heart of the planet's destiny. The two women are caught up in Laador's schemes of world domination. The princess suffers one humiliation after another at the hands of Laador. O'Tamba becomes the woman scorned.
Their emotional ordeals last for fifteen long years, until Asterneem, a Royal Trannur half-breed, surfaces as Samorn's ally and sets her free, in the electrifying ending.
