Welcome to Gor, a parallel Globe, where sociable norms are exotic and the way of life is brutal. In the fifth reserve in the Gorean Series, the dangerous assassin Kuurus is certainly intent on a bloody mission of vengeance. His experience takes him in the caste of the pleasure-slaves, which are rigorously trained in the guidelines and techniques of sexual ecstasy, to the brutal arenas where human beings participate in deadly hand-to-hand fight. He witnesses violence, conflict and uncertainty, as the inhabitants of Counter-Earth are forced to confront their destinies…no matter how exalted or debased.
