    When Irin was a toddler, sorcerers cast a protective spell on her to quell the lustful urges of those around her.

But she's a woman now, and it's time for the spell to be lifted and for her to find out what it means to be taken and mastered by the raedjour -- and to find her truemate among them. Savous and Radin. Apprentice and master. They've been a pair for centuries and have helped to watch over Irin her whole life. There's no doubt in either of their minds that one of them will be the first to introduce Irin into the world of sexual pleasures. But there's more to Irin than anyone knew.
