    Thais Mousa, a muse with the voice of an angel and the heart of a woman, is called from the security of her home-world to serve Aramis, an ancient God of the Wheel of Time.
    After pulling Thais from the sea when she is thrown violently into his world, Aramis immediately finds himself driven to possess this fallen creature, a demanding need that controls him in a way that even he does not understand. With fevered urgency he bonds her to him, introducing her to a world of sensual pleasures that will take her beyond the thresholds of womanhood and into the waiting arms of a God who hungers for her with a relentless, consuming need.
    But there is another who hungers for Thais as well, and her poisoned barbs pierce deep.
    Blackmailed by Melisande, bonded mate to Aramis' brother Hippolyte, Thais is taken to the realm of Propolos where he and Melisande rule. Hippolyte, a darkly sensual God whose pale good looks are both disarming and traitorous to the decaying blackness of his soul, finds himself equally drawn to the woman-child who sings to beast within and eagerly takes her for his own.
    Blinded by a rage that shakes the very foundations of the Heaven's themselves when he believes Thais has gone to Propolos of her own free will, Aramis gives into his grief and prepares his soul to return to the sands of the Creator. He waits eagerly for death as his realm begins to crumble and his people fall ill, watching helplessly as his Mother's curse comes to claim them all.
    It seems all hope is lost when Dominic, Aramis' most devoted and beloved Priest, discovers the truth behind Melisande's lies. With the help of Vespa, his recently bonded soul-mate, Dominic begins a desperate race against time. He and Vardra must find a way to defeat Melisande and bring Thais home, before the God he loves is taken from the world, and the light of all creation with him.

      ~ The shadows recognized her immediately, embracing her with the intimacy of a lover as they pulled her close.  Tendrils of emptiness swirled about her legs and waist, helping to conceal her presence from prying eyes , should there be any .  In the darkness, unseen things slithered into the murky swamp and mosquitoes buzzed angrily above the tepid waters.  Crickets chirped from within the tall grasses of the muddy shore , and birds of prey screamed out as they flew overhead. It was oppressively warm and humid here , even in the dead of night.
                  It was not her choice to be here among the marshy reeds, and she fought back the unease that nibbled at the corner of her thoughts, hating this world and suddenly missing the beauty of pale moonlight as it rained kisses down upon the roses in her gardens back home.    
                  She glided soundlessly among the trees, a bone-piercing chill frosting the air around her as she moved , leaving behind pockets of cold in her wake -- a stark contrast to the stifling heat that claimed the swamp. A large hooded cloak decorated with intricate symbols of silver thread kept her face hidden as it encased her within its soft-flowing folds , and she pulled the collar tight under her chin. The velvet material danced gracefully behind her delicate frame in billowing waves of emerald and black, making it
