Nymphae, the debauched Queen of the Island Kingdom of Eros, has kept her irresistible beauty over hundreds of years by drawing life from men. She thinks the essence of the young Wanderer Nimrod Woodbine's spiritual purity will give her the immortality she craves. He must go to her of his free will. She kidnaps Musette, Nimrod's beautiful human-size mouse traveling companion, knowing Nimrod will try to rescue her. Nymphae's goal is to consume the essence of his very being, leaving him as a living husk in a tortured spiritual eternity as her helpless slave, joining the hundreds of other used-up lovers she keeps in standing coffins in her dungeon. His quest is filled with many dangers, but Nymphae is the most perilous of all.
