Shirr-ha’s life is about to make an abrupt shift from the comforts of her space home and human family to a strange new alien world of sensual excess and every kind of decadence. Forced to watch as her brothers and parents are mercilessly butchered, she is kidnapped by fierce alien warriors of the Kilmayar and other tribes and brought to the palace of a powerful hybrid alien warlord, where she learns about forbidden pleasures she has never even dreamed of before.
