I, too, was exiled from my land as a child. Now, I'm disgraced as a leader.""Did your own father publicly whip you into unconsciousness?" Pilot could not withstand the weight of that memory in silence any longer."Not yet," he smiled as her face reddened with shame. "I will come into heat soon and return to my home planet of Bova to face my father. There can be only one adult Bovid male so our battle will be to the death."Caught in a treacherous power struggle three women find themselves enslaved on a savage alien planet where humans are valued only as slaves or human cattle for the table.

Failure for the young Bovid will mean certain death for him and the human members of his house. As the betrayals multiple, the women come to realize that there is far more at stake than their lives.
