Two women in a tempest. Loedicia. Ravishingly beautiful, dangerously hot-blooded, torn from the husband she loved, thrust into the arms of an irresistible adventurer, then into the hands of a rapacious, insatiable warrior-chief. Rebel. Her lovely and lost daughter, trapped in unholy wedlock to a sensually perverse English lord, seeking escape first in a rapturous, ruinous affair, finally in a wild flight from civilization with the only man ever to master her.
