Yuri, a teen of the 21st century, has been transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, Queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakias stepson, Prince Kail, saved Yuri from the Queens bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence, the people of the kingdoms of Anatolia have embraced Yuri as the incarnation of the great war-goddess Ishtar. Yuri is a normal teen trapped in an ancient Middle-Eastern empire. In this volume, Yuri and Prince Kail return to the queens palace to rescue Tito, but the queen will not let them in. Later, Titos whereabouts are made shockingly clear. Yuri tries to get back to modern-day Japan, but the queen uses her magic to stop the attempt. Kail, in turn, fights back against the queen using his own magic. Will Yuri succeed in going home?
