Publisher's Synopsis
The naked women were pulled upon the high platform by the slavemonger, one by one. They were chained to the central wooden post, and displayed to the crowd. The woman of the desert province was sold last of all. The men in the crowd murmered when they they saw her dark charms. There was only one bid. The Prince contemptuously cast his purse filled with coins at her feet. No one would dare bid against him. Thus it was in the days of the Dark Empire. Eons ago men of Sol III sailed to the the stars. They seeded many worlds with life, and fostered new civilizations. The Dark Empire established by this Elder Race was ruled by Astarte the Divine. Long may she rule over us! A prior edition published as Astarte the Great Queen. Adult content.
