Way back in Crole's past a war was won at the battle of Nohope Swamp when King Zane was joined by a lone traveller from a distant world who had a weapon of immense power. After the battle Zane realises that it is so powerful that it cannot be allowed to fall into unscrupulous hands so decides to secrete it somewhere on the planet but leaves a set of clues in a sacred temple deep within the bowels of Castle Quorn for his decedent's use should the peace and stability of Crole ever be threatened again. Eventually this happens when Golad who has awoken the Dark Powers wages war and Princess Veron has no option but to try and find the weapon in order to regain her crown. She embarks on a journey into a land of magic and mystery where she is accompanied by a Black Wolf and Albino Crow and finds herself protected by a mysterious force that guides her though alien lands inhabited by strange peoples and beasts all of which are determined to stop her. When she finds the weapon she learns a truth that has remained hidden and to fulfil her destiny has to defeat both the Dark Powers as well as Golad when they eventually meet at Nohope Swamp.
