Publisher Description
As a pleasure slave for the house of Vidaris, Marja submitted to the whims of her master, Lexander, offering no resistance to his desires. But she could still see the good within her master’s heart—and set him free with her love.
To atone for his sins, Lexander has sworn to free all slaves by destroying pleasure houses throughout the world. He razes Vidaris to the ground, knowing that word of his betrayal will reach his fellow masters, and that he will be branded a renegade and hunted down.
Determined to aid Lexander at any cost, Marja accompanies Lexander into one den of iniquity after another, infiltrating the slave quarters, willing to endure hardship and pain and even the loss of Lexander’s love in order to sow the seeds of revolution.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set in an alternate Viking world where "pleasure slaves" are trained\t\t at "pleasure houses" to service paying "masters," Wright's uninspired erotic\t\t fantasy, the sequel to To Serve and Submit\t\t (2006), includes s&m, rape-as-stimulation and lots of hearty "rutting."\t\t Freed pleasure slave Marja and her former master, Lexander, set out to destroy\t\t the other masters and their pleasure houses. While the pair enjoy good sex\t\t because Marja is a true submissive, Marja's nascent feminism leads her to\t\t decide their sexual bond is not as important as freeing other pleasure slaves.\t\t Aided in her quest by a variety of throwaway human characters and a bunch of\t\t supernatural beings (mischievous little "olfs," gossipy water sprites and evil demons), Marja\t\t uses her well-honed sexual wiles and supernatural connections to seduce men and\t\t women to further her cause. Readers looking for a lukewarm version of\t\t Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series will be most rewarded.\t\t
