Far-Future Erotic Science Fiction
In the fourth novel in the Passionate Pantheon series, Kaytin, new to the City and still finding her way, accepts an invitation to a party hosted by an enigmatic woman, and her experiences change everything. Drawn into the City's underworld of zero-gravity gladiators and Temple politics, she soon finds her new circle of friends offer her the key to a world she never imagine.
Tsimbar, a young novice of the Quickener beginning his life at the Temple, agrees to act as the Temple's representative at another party, where he meets a new lover who turns his life upside down.
Royat, adrift without purpose or direction, volunteers as entertainment at a party, an experience that makes him question everything he ever knew, and prods him to volunteer as Sacrifice to the Ostiary, the AI god of change.
Welcome to the City, the far-future, post-scarcity world where the people worship AI gods of unimaginable power through rituals of sex and connection. When the gods involve themselves in mortal lives, things get strange and a little frightening. Kaytin, Tsimbar, and Royat find their lives in disarray in the turbulent wake of Jakalva, an inscrutable power broker whose parties shake up the lives of all they touch.
