When a sorcerer imprisons the knight, Bradamante discovers two prophecies about their future with devastating consequences. She can indeed wed Ruggiero but doing so would seal his death. If she forsakes her love, then she’ll cause the downfall of the Christian empire.

With the fate of her people at stake, will Bradamante choose to doom the innocent masses or the life of her one true love?
