To become a priestess to Astarte, the goddess of love and war, was to embody the goddess's urgent sexual hunger and the ecstasy of her fulfillment. As Tia stood before Astarte's statue, she knew this was her destiny. She felt transformed—no longer a timid young girl, but a woman, bold and willful, filled with passion and knowledge beyond her years. She'd been chosen by Prince Nekhet, 4th son to the Pharoah, for a night of love. And as the spirit of Astarte moved through her, her sensuality bloomed, and she became shameless, voracious...and irresistible, as she transported herself and the prince to unimagined heights of pleasure.
