About This Book

As savage and lusty, here is a story of men and women deeply attracted to each other, yet forbidden to express their passion except in terms of sadism and cruelty -- the powerful story of the strange and terrible loves that flourish between oppressor and oppressed. This savage and beautiful novel explores one of the great hidden tragedies of slavery -- the sexual tragedy. The terrifying passions unleashed by a bloody black rebellion even more explosive than Mandingo!
