Now in the third book of the intriguing and frankly erotic Moontusk Chronicles, the young lovers Dare and Hosis sail north from the South Seas toward Kemnu. Dare insists he must return to his homeland to learn if he can do anything about the chaotic situation there. They also suspect that Lady Dee, the woman who seduced them both and brought them together intimately, may have been installed as the new High Queen of the Empire. Before they can reach the mainland however, the young men are captured by slavers, for the slave trade has resurged in the political chaos. They are separated after Dare is mortally wounded, and Hosis gets sent far away in shock, believing that Dare has died.

That army behind the White Mammoth banner appears poised to conquer the capital city Ulan, unless the God Othis himself returns to life...
