Publisher's Synopsis
The Shire County of Monmouth in the United Kingdom of Great Britain has a strangely ambiguous history. In the C16, it was more than twice as large as it is now, and lay nestled between England and Wales, but was not connected to either politically, as if it fell from the sky, to fill a hole between the two nations, because nature abhors a vacuum. The "Harri" of this story was a child protege of this Shire County, born into a junior chapter of a bloodline of savants bred by the Holy Roman Catholic Church after Christianization of the Roman Empire from the third son of Adam and Eve, Seth. Seth's significance was that it was unto him that God gave the gift of savantism to counter Baal, Angel of Chaos, who had been cast from Heaven for having assisted the famously unsuccessful challenge of Satan to rule Heaven. From little more than a country bumpkin, our hero rose to Vice Admiral of the British military in the Caribbean, Acting Governor of Jamaica, and Knight of the Garter. The sexual potency of the first of these promotions took him by surprise, as previously, his savantism made him as ambiguous in this department of life as the Shire County of his birth had been about who it was. He had been betrothed to his wife, the "Marri" of this story, at about seven years of age, the youngest and plainest daughter of the senior chapter of the family bloodline, namely, his father's eldest brother. This story essays their intimate exploration of each other due to his attaining this explosive potency.
