The Scarlet Empress (Paul
Magrs) |

On the Back Cover:
Arriving
on the almost impossibly ancient planet of Hyspero, a world where magic and
danger walk hand in hand, The Doctor and Sam are caught up in a bizarre
struggle for survival.
Hyspero has been ruled for thousands of years by
the Scarlet Empresses, creatures of dangerous powers - powers that a member of
The Doctor's own race is keen to possess herself: the eccentric time traveller
and philanderer known only as Iris Wildthyme.
As the
real reasons for Iris's obsession become clear, The Doctor and Sam must embark
on a perilous journey across deserts, mountains, forests and oceans. Both
friends and foes are found among spirits, djinns, alligator men and golden
bears - but in a land where the magical is possible, is anything really as it
seems? |
