Publisher's Synopsis
Aldo is the last living consort of a goddess worshiped when humankind believed god was a woman, and sex was holy. After thousands of years of hiding in the wild mountains of Corsica, his clan died out, leaving him alone to face the terrifying and unknown modern world of today. Lenya, desperate to relieve her grief over the sudden death of her husband, joins a tour to the island. She is irresistibly drawn to its mysterious Neolithic past, standing stone warriors, dolmens, primeval ruins and a haunting voice compelling her to stay. After renting a cabin for a year, she realizes someone is leaving her presents, nosegays of flowers, baskets of fruit. Is she being stalked by danger?...or something else? And who is the barbaric looking and appealing man who comes to her rescue? Fascinated and seduced by the island's mysticism, spirituality and sensuality, Lenya faces a journey of self-discovery leading her from the cold sophistication of her world into the scorching heart of primal human beliefs, to a place where sex, love and worship converge.
