Moon Called
Thora is the Chosen One. Pressed against her breast is the sacred jewel, possessing all the
powers of the Moon. Makil is the Man of Pure Light, from the valley of
enchantment and the swaying, sensual dance. In the golden scabbard at
his side is the magical Sword of Lur.
Together they descend into
an underground world of soulless machines and eternal night. High
Priestess and Warrior, Jewel and Sword, they must join in blood and
battle against the Dark Lord. To fail would mean the Holy Force would
fail, and Thora and Makil would forever be entombed in the flesh of
evil.
