The Manor And The Maiden Bound Michaela Francis

Life has been confusing for Jennifer since her exile in Mathomdale as she is torn between the excitement of her beloved Julie and the darker passions of Baxter's whip. Now, however, a more serious matter has arisen. The young girl has come to the notice of the formidable Lady Mathom; the fabulously rich and enigmatic matriarch who is the real power in the valley. Jennifer is invited to visit the vast edifice of Mathom Hall to meet this strange, almost mythical figure, with no idea of why the woman should take such an interest in her.

Even as she prepares to meet Lady Mathom, however, Jennifer begins to come across more and more people familiar with her. There are the four young women who hold some mysterious position at Mathom Hall, the landlady of the Mathom Arms in the village and, most importantly, the beautiful Rachel who will describe, in graphic detail, her own experiences at Mathom Hall. From these sources, Jennifer begins to learn something of the true nature of Mathomdale, the curious sub-culture and dark secrets of the people within it and the real reason why Lady Mathom should be so interested in her. In horrified fascination, she feels the tendrils of enslavement beginning to close around her.

This, the shocking second volume in the "Slaves of the Amethyst" saga, will take the reader on a whirlwind journey of sexuality through Mathomdale. From Jennifer and Julie's sexual adventures in the meadows, the dark sensuality of Lady Mathom's chambers and the hidden caverns of slavery in the vast cellars beneath Mathom Hall, the bizarre world of the Valley of the Goddess is tantalisingly revealed.
