Journeying up the Huz'n River in a restored boat, Samson, Mindor and Sharmaine discover the Castle 'Sterz!
Genre
science fiction

Samson; Sharmaine; Mindor; Baron Richard; tribesfolk
Synopsis
Richard imprisons Samson, ordering Sharmaine to capture the unicorn, which is actually a mutation. Samson saves her and fights the radioactive beast. That radiation does indeed heal Mindor, and strengthens Samson, but it kills Richard when he tries to seize it. Some of the tribesfolk leave the Cloisters, while others decide to make their home there and create a new regime, while caring for the irreplaceable artworks.
