Simon the Sorcerer is content in his home at Torstein Tower and has little interest in the affairs of the High Kingdom. The powerful magic of Haadis and the ancient installations of the Carzar aliens, provide him with countless and rewarding days of study. Now as a sorcerer of considerable power, he faces pleas from King Bradicus to assist the High Kingdom in repelling a barbaric invasion from the Divine Union in the south which is being led by the evil and ruthless Godchild Sorcerer. Previous unpleasant events leave him hesitant to intervene, until two major incidents again reshape his thinking. First through an engineered twist of time, his understanding of reality is shattered when he finds himself in the presence of the most omnipotent creature to ever exist in the universe; and secondly he is later exposed to an evil species so horrendous and powerful that the whole fabric of the galaxy is threatened. Now he also understands the origins and the motives of the Godchild invader, and he is no longer reluctant to come to the aid of the High Kingdom. Unfortunately his assistance becomes restricted as greater forces move against him, but with the help of his closest friend Duke Paul and his access to the font of magic, he moves forward to confront what lies ahead.
