Life on Primevalon is thrown into chaos as a renegade deity attempts to appease her overwrought conscience. All attention is now drawn toward the queen and her newborn twins, Mantis and Marcus. Superstitions force the twins to be raised separately, and their father's throne is taken through a vicious betrayal.
