Diosamante van Arhas

<<<  Index  >>>

When Diosamante was a young woman she was the Queen of Arhas. She ruled with an iron fist, she was cruel and ruthless. The world was hers. And as cruelty often goes hand in hand with beauty, she was beautiful as well. Probably the most beautiful woman of the land and far beyond. She was of such great beauty that men were willing to die for her. And they did. Men who wanted to touch her flesh and own her body had to fight with each other to the death. Only the last alive was granted the pleasure of Diosamante. Love didn't count, just lust. One year and then death. 
One day Diosamante met king Urbal de Sarabba and she instantly fell for him. And for the first time she couldn't instantly take what she wanted the way she desired. This she had to earn. She had to come down from her high tower, to feel and understand poverty, to beg instead of buy or take.
