WITHIN TEMPTATION (2023)

The warrior Galatea has left her life of battle behind. Now, as the Matriarch, she is the most powerful person on the planet... but how much does she really know? The return of someone from Galatea's past will make her question everything she thought she understood. The sprawling sci-fi story based on the music of Within Temptation continues! 30 pages of story!

In the distant future, an endless battle rages between two species-an advanced but inherently humanoid species ruled by a techno-organic matriarch on one side, and a cruel race of alien artificial intelligences on the other. Several stories collide to paint a sweeping portrait of the matriarch's life and her struggle to balance what she was created to be with the impossible forces that shape her. Based on the smash hit album "Resist" by legendary symphonic metal band Within Temptation!
