Synopsis: From the back cover of the Grafton edition: "Rebels of the ruling caste - High above the city of Charn a castle housed the ruling Starbridge caste, whose priests and soldiers subdued the masses by means of an erotic and bloody religion.
Dr Thanakar Starbridge and Mad Prince Abu Starbridge were rebels against their elite background, seeking the mysterious Autinomials in the slums of Charn.
These non-believers denied language and desire, expressing themselves through uniquely beautiful music. But wherever Thanakar and Abu went they sparked rebellion - until their Starbridge cousins decided to put an end to this threat to Charn's security..."
