The Saga of Gor continues as Tarl Cabot attempts to save a beautiful
prisoner from a terrible fate.
The daughter of Marlenus, the Ubar of Ar, is now a fugitive sought for
betraying the Home Stone of her city. The price on her head could build
fleets and hire armies. For years she has been hunted by legions of
guardsmen and bounty hunters. Now, tricked by a former colleague, Talena
has been captured and delivered to Lurius of Jad. Once her esteemed
ally, Lurius is now eager to sell Talena's blood for the gold of Ar. But
the reward cannot be claimed until the prisoner is delivered.
Between the port of Jad and the mighty gates of Ar lie dangerous waters
and harrowing wildernesses, the threats of beasts and the menace of men.
Tarl Cabot, a seaman and warrior of Port Kar, once the free companion of
Talena, chooses to risk everything to save his former companion.
In this rousing adventure, we encounter the steel of warriors, the
stealth of Assassins, the savagery of monstrous Kurii, the passions and
beauty of needful, vulnerable, collared slaves, the subtleties of
Scribes of the Law, and the ambition and ruthlessness of men who want
nothing less than the throne of Ar itself.
