The Warrior Challenged

In a barbaric land ruled by men, women are meant to serve. But Terril, an empathic agent from an advanced interstellar society owes her first allegiance to her masters from the stars and can never be completely ruled by any man, not even Tammad, the barbarian lord she has come to love. Yet when Terril joins Tammad on a rescue expedition to the distant female dominated city of Vediaster, neither she or Tammad can foresee that they are riding straight into a trap that may claim both their lives.
