A lavish erotic historical set in 3rd Century Syria...
Palmyra: a lush oasis in the heart of the Syrian Desert. The inquisitive, beautiful and fiercely independent Samoya takes her place as apprentice priestess in the temple of Antich. Decadent bachelor Prince Alif has other ideas. He wants a wife, and sends his equally lascivious sister to bring Samoya to the Bacchanalian wedding feast he is preparing. Samoya embarks on a journey that will alter the course of her life. Before reaching her destination, she is to encounter Marcus, the battle-hardened centurion who will unearth the core of her desires.
