In an age of brutality, a Scottish clan imprisons Noci behind the bars of an animal cage. Only one man can save her now --Taracut "the Gelded", the unfeeling overlord of Northumbria. The fierce warrior draws breath only to serve his king, and his impenetrable heart beats only for duty. Although a vision warns Noci that Taracut is numb to all emotion, even lust, she offers the overlord the use of her body in exchange for her freedom.
Satisfy Taracut's dark urges and she will live. Fail to submit to him, and the self-righteous Taracut will condemn her to a fiery death at the pyre. A sweet kiss seals the bargain, and so the bitter battle for the overlord's soul begins. Tricking him with games of seduction, teasing him with a purring acquiescence to his every demand, tempting him with wanton carnal acts, Noci introduces the warrior to the full spectrum of feelings, from passion to...
Betrayal. Suspecting Noci has played him false, the enraged Taracut exacts a terrible retribution for her deception. The fierce warrior forces Noci -- his sweet pet, his enthusiastic whore, his secret obsession -- to crave him as much as he craves her.
