This interpreter tells her that this is their warrior ways and she needs to get her crap together and start acting right or else things could get even worse for her. But, Circe is 'lucky' because she is raped and captured by the king, Lahn, who considers her his 'Golden Queen', so he sends in an interpreter to try to communicate with her. Let the raping begin!! Many of these women have been captured from foreign lands and have no grasp of the language, so they don't know what their new 'husbands' are saying to them, just that they are in a living hell of captivity and rape with a savage.

We start out with a 'hunt' where women are in a corral and are set loose to run for their lives as men on horses hunt them down, rape them, tear off all their clothes, and then display them naked in front of the camp as their capture/slave/wife. The only thing that could make this book okay is if the author donated all of the money made on it to battered women's shelters to help the women who have suffered the atrocities that she is trying to glamorize in this book. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader. She soon finds out that she’s not having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their Queen.ĭax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend.Ĭirce and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or how to get home. Circe Quinn goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire - and she is one of them.
