Torc is an escapee from a level 10 prison. He is a Zorgian which is one who feeds on the blood of others. He is also a killer. He takes on the mission of rescuing Ailyea Meegan from the Sheik of Asaroof’s compound. Ailyea is a Delicant, which is a pleasure slave. She is actually of royal lineage, but has no memory of this because she was kidnapped when she was very young. She has been trained in the ways of giving pleasure. Torc has never been with a woman. Torc was tragically separated from his people when he was very young. His close friends are werewolves and he has never been attracted to their kind.

When Torc rescues Ailyea, they travel through the stars together. Ailyea finds herself very attracted to Torc. She has been programmed to be a submissive and is dying to submit to him. Torc tries to do what is right and does everything he can to avoid her offers. Along the way, Torc has to rescue her from the hands of lecherous werewolves and once she is reunited with her family, they have to rescue each other from the hands of some greedy, evil relatives.
