Sir Roger looked into the pleading eyes of his ward. 'My special chair is new since you were last here, my dear, ' he told her conversationally. 'So, you won't be familiar with its purpose. I acquired it from a trader some miles down the coast.' He paused and smiled grimly. 'You should be flattered, my dear, he claimed it is very old and was used in a distant tribe's more exotic rituals. I understand that only the most beautiful and passionate girls were ever permitted to show their endurance by being placed in the Seat of Pleasure.' Beautiful eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Ashton joins her guardian, Sir Roger Stanley, in a trading post on the feared Gold Coast of Africa. There, Sir Roger teaches the beautiful girl the darker pleasures of restraint and physical discipline before introducing her to the dominating widow, Helen Birencourt.
But plotting to be rid of Elizabeth and claim her inheritance, Sir Roger then sells her to Lord Kemal, the chief slaver on the coast, and despite being cruelly used by Kemal she escapes - although her adventures are only just beginning.
Shipwrecked and alone she is captured by native warriors, and her prized blonde hair and blue eyes ensure that she is sent to join King Mamaweyo's harem. There she learns about the barbaric rituals meted out to the king's slaves, as well as finding comfort in the arms of her new companions.
Then a surprise attack on the palace gives Elizabeth a chance of escape - but does fate have a final cruel twist in store...?
