Klorkhana is the Mind Healer, or Ror Noki, of  Planet Sephro. He is supposed to help people find the answers to whatever challenges they face in their lives.  Instead, he gets inside their minds and twists them around to suit his needs, stealing energies from people, especially women.  Eventually, people are hanging on by a thread, fighting amongst themselves, stressing out over the littlest things.  They are being constantly mind-raped by Klorkhana and his army of men who wish to take over the world and have women subservient to them.


It is up to Ror Roki Coran, Security Chief of the whole planet, and her mate Tanna to form an army consisting of their son Cortano and Klorkhana's estranged mate Destylla.  Together with Sindel, a man known to have a woman's energy therefore was locked up and shunned by Klorkhana, the army rise up against this tyrant and vow to fight together to the end.


Klorkhana the Tyrant was written and composed by Kate Quinn and is based on the novel Klorkhana, Tyrant of Sephro by Hazel Kate Quinn.
