Opis

Sarah Noble has everything: wealth, beauty, celebrity. She is an elite athlete married to her one true love. But she has a secret. She and her twin sister are courtesans, very discreet, very, very expensive. Only the most wealthy, the most powerful can afford her, and those who can, will risk everything for one night of pleasure. Finally, she encounters a client who is too much for her. Suddenly her beauty, her career, her marriage, her life are in danger. Can she and her husband Noah grow up and mature fast enough to survive? The Children of the Seed are immortal, but their own children are not. They are desperate to find the secret of immortality, but when they do, they discover that its possession is more likely to lead to sudden death. Can they solve the riddle in time? Mary, the abbess of the Academy, and Laura, the governor of transit station, have often wondered what it is like to be a man. Now they have an opportunity to find out with each other. What demons from the past will emerge? The economy of Eden is driven by the students at the Academy, who work as highly paid prostitutes. However, the Seedlings are getting older, and Eden is too isolated to attract new recruits. The Order finds a wonderful source of students -- young men and women saved from human sacrifice. But the price of their salvation is that their life at the Academy will be a fate worse than death. Can Noah and Sarah fulfill this bargain with the devil, and still keep their own souls? Earth's Keeper of the East has ruined Sarah and seduced the Rachel twins. He seems to be an evil tyrant, but his queen loves him dearly. Can she be as good as he is evil? Can she and Sarah both be the Goddess incarnate? One is the Hand of Life, the other the Hand of Death, but which is which? Cover Art: T.L. Davison
