Ravina, a lowly tavern maid, works tirelessly while waiting for her husband William to return from war, only to be cruelly abandoned. Seeking status and power, William becomes involved with the noble heiress Amelia. To erase his shameful past, the two conspire to have Ravina thrown into a vampire dungeon and silenced forever. On the brink of death, Ravina’s memories, sealed away for three years, suddenly awaken, revealing her true identity as the divine-blooded Empress of Grindor. She slaughters the vampires, burns their lair to the ground, and makes a stunning return at the royal investiture ceremony. From there, Ravina takes revenge on those who betrayed her, exposes a conspiracy within the royal court, confronts a false ruler and rebellious nobles, and ultimately unleashes the power of the dragon race to crush an army of skeletal demons. Reclaiming her throne at last, Ravina rises from tavern maid to legendary empress.
