A forgotten queen scavenges wreckage until her son identifies her and a usurper threatens exposure.
Victoria ruled the Galactic Empire until an Insectoid assault erased her memory and stranded her on a wasteland planet. For five years she has lived as Lyra, scavenging scraps to survive. The arrival of Leo, son of Imperial Marshal Alexander, shatters her isolation when he calls her mother. Selena has claimed credit for Victoria's triumph and now moves to silence the only living witness. Alexander transports Lyra to the Imperial Capital to serve as a stand-in for the missing queen, unaware that the scavenger before him is the genuine monarch.
