Synopsis: From the Back Cover of the DAW Books edition: "I have, in a sense, come to the only place I can call home... I had visited the City and the Tower again. I had been the General's bride, and he the new Emperor of North and South and Atlantis-across-the-Ocean. The city had been any city to a conqueror, sheeted in flags, misted in wine. I had not recognized it, this third bitter time, but this is the City I was born in. This is the dictatorship ruled by my Mother, where the High Priest is the man who fathered me, who fathered my brother Smahil on the witch Ooldra, and must surely kill me, the living proof of his betrayal of his vows of lifelong celibacy."
From Goodreads: Endless Peril...Anguished Fate!
Rescued by a bold sailor, held in the confines of a lascivious brothel, Cija faces yet another life-and-death ordeal. She escapes but her respite is short-lived. Treachery and betrayal sweep her into the temple of her hated father, beyond a terrifying interlude in the Arena of Apes.
With the seed of her lover growing within her, she is carried to her ultimate destiny inside the monstrous walls of Atlan...
