Marja was born a child of the fens, young, beautiful, and free. Her days were spent working with her poor family and communing with the ethereal olfs-the playful spirits of the land-until Lexander, a procurer for the pleasure house of Vidaris, comes to her small village and purchases her from her father.
At Vidaris, Marja is schooled as a slave in the arts of seduction and carnal delight-and discovers her nature as a true submissive. But when Lexander grants Marja her freedom, she finds herself swept away in a torrent of betrayal and intrigue that threatens her beloved land. And Marja will have to use all her strength, skills, and cunning to survive in the war that is about to engulf them all.

Susan Wright is the author of numerous science fiction novels and nonfiction works on popular culture. She is currently the spokesperson for the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, and has lectured extensively at universities around the country.
A child of the fens, Marja spent her days running wild, searching for bog iron for the family, and talking with olfs--spirits of the land who helped and guided her and anyone else who acknowledged them. One day a beautiful man in a huge ship bought Marja from her father. The olfs liked Lexander, and Marja wanted new experiences, so she went willingly. But Lexander is a procurer for the pleasure houses near Vidaris, to which Marja is sent to become a pleasure-giver and is found to be that rara avis, a natural submissive. She falls for Lexander, and he for her, but at a tribal council, she is drawn into a political minefield that makes her run for her life. Used to being told what to do, she must call upon resources and skills she never knew she had to save herself, her land, and the noblewoman she accompanies. The olfs and Marja's sex slavery add a lot to a run-of-the-mill adventure, though a few characters are very well developed, too. Paula Luedtke
