Book description
The Lady Hysena Macarydias, teenage daughter of the most noble house of
Qalle, finds her illusion of how life will be as an Initiate at the
formidable Citadel utterly shattered. The excesses of Father Tarrip,
High Priest of the Holy Prophet , would be beyond the endurance of the
terrified girls in his charge were it not for the efforts of Sister
Maria, who as an Adept of the secretive and forbidden Society of T arn,
is able to control him but only to a degree. But Maria has concerns
beyond the fate of the pampered young ladies of Qalle aristocracy; the
delicately balanced peace between the warring nations is under threat,
and the very future of the planet may be in her hands. The struggle for
control of Qalle is a secret one, known to only a few. Caught between
the opposing factions are the innocent Initiates: Hysena, the beautiful,
intelligent yet naive Lady; Jagdig, the formidable warrior girl of
Kallinia; plump Princess Leel of Calith; tiny, demure Silka of Sis
Narash and the others. And, somewhere within the sprawling walls and
forbidding towers of the ancient Citadel, are the Acolytes, male
counterparts to the Initiates, who in the timeless manner of young men
everywhere will undertake any risk if it may result in the chance to
meet young women, even if that risk may result in disaster...The world
of Qalle is a world of cruelty, of pain, of punishment. A world of plot,
counter-plot and intrigue, but which still allows time enough for love,
tenderness and yearning desire. First published some years ago, The
Initiate by Miranda Lake is now available in downloadable form for the
first time one of the most erotic novels to be published this century.
