Zenobia -- the crystal city -- lay hidden for centuries in the western desert of Glendarra undetected by the clans or by the Techs until its ruler's only daughter Chrysana foresaw the coming of the stranger -- the destroyer. One knife thrust was all it would take... Torn between conscience and craving, duty and desire, peace-loving Chrysana d'Morné hardened herself to plunge her blade into the heart of Drew Richards -- the sensual man from Earth's past whose arrival in Zenobia signaled the destruction of the crystal city. Haunted yet aroused by her visions of the future, and by the allure of Drew's exotic eyes, the ravishing Seer struggled to choose between her homeland and her heart. One stroke could mean release -- from the mounting threat of Drew's enigmatic presence and the mysterious seduction he promised. But one caress could mean ecstasy -- and a lifetime of love beyond the stars.
