Ielle has trained for years for this moment; now it is before her. Kyr, Hausa of Janos, one of the most powerful men on her world, is to be her mate. They must learn to build their life together while ferreting out the assassin that lives in their midst. No one is safe from attack - or suspicion. An erotic otherworldly tale of dominant males and the submissives they own. This is not the typical BDSM story; rather, it is an explicit romance of lust and passion found at the feet of the master.
