Lukas has to save the King and Queen of Anslem , his parents, and the woman he loves, Marliele, from death in the Oligsarco lair. The only option he may have is to accept the dark proposition of the Oligsarco: Trade his life for the lives of his loved ones. Once the trade is made and Lukas is taken back to the lair of the Oligsarco they will kill him as the prophecy allows. At Lukas death,  the Throne of Anslem will end  and the Prophecy will be fulfilled.

If he makes a mistake the Oligsarco live or he kills a loved one by mistake. The Oligsarco have secrets that when Lukas learns of them could destroy the Throne of Anslem with or without his death. Lukas can also stay off the Curse by siring an heir to the throne, in case of his death.  He must seduce the real Marliele and conceive a child.
