Terrilian's ability to project her mind empathically enabled her to control wild animals but when it came to the human beast she was in trouble. Because being herself a desirable object for male lust counterbalanced her skills as an interplanetary agent - and created an interplanetary crisis. Tammad, the barbarian chief who had banded Terry as his, was furious at her efforts to control his mind. Terry, torn between conflicting loyalties, sought to break her bonds by escaping. But her flight across a savage world led her instead to a final crisis when, rearmed, she would fight it out with everything and everyone that opposed her!
