ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

As this series has progressed, a number of people have provided us with assistance in

one manner or another. It's time to thank them:

Conrad Chu

Judith Lasker

Joe Nefflen

Pam "Pogo" Poggiani

Richard Roach

Mike Spehar

Ralph and Marilyn Tacoma

Detlef Zander

. . . and probably several others I've forgotten to mention, for which my apologies in

advance.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank Janet Dailey for the many ways in which

she's helped me out over the past year or so. I can't remember if that assistance involved

my work on the Belisarius series, but it probably did—and even if it didn't, she's way

overdue for my public appreciation anyway.

PROLOGUE

Knowing what to expect, the two sisters had already disrobed by the time their new

owner returned to his tent. The older sister's infant was asleep on the pallet. The sisters

were a bit concerned that the ensuing activities would awaken him—the pallet was small

and thin, oddly so for such an obviously wealthy man—but not much. The baby was

accustomed to the noise, after all, having spent the first year of his life in a brothel crib.

Unless, of course, their new owner was given to bizarre tastes and habits . . .

That was the real source of the sisters' anxiety. For all its foulness, the brothel had at

least been fairly predictable. Now, for the first time since their enslavement, they faced

an entirely new situation. New—and unsettling. Their new owner had said nothing to

them, other than commanding them into his tent after his caravan stopped for the night.

But, as they waited, they took solace in the fact that they were still together. Against

all odds, they had managed to keep from being separated during the long years of their

captivity. Apparently, it tickled their new owner's fancy to have sisters for his

concubines. They would see to it that he was satisfied with the result. In that manner,

they might preserve the remaining fragment of their family.

So it was, when their new owner pushed back the flap and entered the tent, that he

found the sisters reclining nude on the pallet. The fact that they were holding hands was

the only indication that any uneasiness lurked beneath their sensual poses.
