"She was Aeron, heir to the throne of Keltia at a time when the people of the Keltic worlds had not yet re-established contact with their distant brethren of Earth - and when dangerous foes were mobilizing to destroy this mighty space empire hidden behind its seemingly impenetrable magic-fueled Curtain Wall. From events long before her birth which would shape the worlds and the burdens she would inherit - to her first discovery of the magic that could move the very sun from its path - to the dangerous rites of passage that would make her sorcerer, warrior, avenger, and ultimately Queen - this is the tale of Aeron - mistress of high magic and last defender of the Kelts."
