The newlywed bride of a Creole aristocrat, Celia Vallerand prays for deliverance from the blood thirsty brigands who abducted her from a New Orleans-bound schooner. Though she believes her beloved husband slain and despairs for her own life, the shy French beauty fears above all the dashing privateer who pays a king's ransom to claim her ... and boldly risks capture to possess her. The most notorious pirate of the open seas, he is called the Griffin -- a rugged and powerful renegade who arouses within Celia desires as dangerous as they are irresistible. But the magnificent adventurer is a man trapped in a perilous deception-and he guards a shocking secret that could deny him the
love of the gossamer-haired enchantress who stirs his manly passions and enslaves his heart.

Lack of availablility can be the making of a book. This one has probably always been more talked about than read, and its diffusion among general readers may prove the death-blow to its reputation. It is the kind of rambling fantasy, rich in abiguous symbolism, which slightly repels the many who like novels to make solid sense, and violently attracts the few who enjoy dredging them for deep, dark, mysterious secrets about Life and the Universe...This is not science-fiction, which is a realistic genre. It is in intention, perhaps, a religious allegory....[S]uch writing does well to rest upon some great public myth....Without such underpinning it will fall, as here, into whimsy, into mere dream. And other people's dreams are not interesting.
