Marooned on a primitive world for almost two years, Bolden captures and then befriends Cené, a beautiful young woman who serves the goddess of her planet.  The goddess wants to experience passion through a symbiotic joining with the woman and Bolden. He agrees, if the goddess will help him return to Earth.
In a world far from home, decisions that will affect an entire planet rest in the hands of a young half-breed and the woman/goddess he loves.
