With her powers growing, and with her desire to avenge her father’s death uppermost in her mind, Astra has no choice but to abandon those held captive on Malass – the planet of the witches – to pursue her own agenda.Forsaking everyone, she enlists the help of her two faithful dragons, and turns her formidable fury on the usurper, but – when the Kulku come after her with their magic far outstripping hers – will those forsaken friends come to her aid, or will they leave her to perish?
