City Of Rah (Saga Of The Rah Book 3) (Volume 3)

The third book of the Saga Of The Rah series finds beautiful boy-god, Rah, in Babylon, amongst the enemies of his master, Rush The Assassin. Rah, approaching the city on horseback, is taken into the Palace by Princess Ephtheta herself when her caravan discovers him just outside the gates, having fled his master once again. Delighted by his cat-like beauty, Princess Ephtheta adopts Rah, a new addition to her collection of exotic pets, and keeps him a secret from her father until a message from the Assassin himself demands his return. "Your darkest nightmare has yet to be dreamt. For I will take a bone from your body for each day you keep the boy from him, beginning with today. Then I will take what you love first and second: first, your daughter Ephtheta, and second, Babylon. All of the armies of Syria will not protect you. Return him, or face hell itself."
