Plot summary

The story focuses around the title character, Lemnear, who according to prophecy is the Champion of Silver. She seeks revenge on the evil wizard Gardein and the master he serves, attempting to avenge the slaughter of her people. (This, and several other aspects of design and nature, may connect her to the character of the Taarakian Taarna in Heavy Metal, including her sword, hair color, and mode of transportation.)
