Yuri, a modern teenager, is transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia's stepson, Prince Kail, saves Yuri from the queen's bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence of the prince's actions, the people of Anatolia embrace Yuri as the incarnation of the great war goddess Ishtar.

Yuri is embroiled in a romantic tangle between Prince Kail and his half-sibling Zannanza. As Kail and Yuri fight against the armies of the Prince of Darkness, the fate of the Hittite empire hangs in the balance, as does Yuri's chance of ever returning home.
