THE BOOK:
A striking trophy wife and her stunning daughter unknowingly drive to a fatal destination...
The Middle Ages! a time when a Knight left on a Crusade for years, leaving behind him his feudal estates, his serfs, his house and his family...
In his absence there were often usurpers waiting like hungry hyenas to take everything. The most delicate morsel to fall into the hyenas' hungry mouths was often the Crusader's wife herself...
This is the spine-chilling story of two women, innocent victims of an evil age.
Birgit, the Princess from the North, faces cruel blackmail. The love of her life, her childhood sweetheart, is cruelly mistreated before her eyes every time she fails to please the sadistic, bloodthirsty monster who holds her prisoner...
Claudia, the adolescent heiress to her father's title and estates, also falls victim to the same malicious plot. The world she knows falls apart when her father's estate is taken from him. She manages to escape and flees to the woods. There she is hunted down like a wild animal by wandering slave dealers. Claudia's existence becomes Hell on earth as her body is used without scruple by the sadistic dealers. She becomes a mere object of pleasure. Shut up in the grim, damp dungeons below the Convent, guarded by brutal jailers, bound hand and foot with heavy shackles, she is forced to submit to the whims and strange fantasies of her visitors - men and women. Some are old acquaintances who do not want to miss the opportunity of incorporating Claudia's body into their most preverse and secret fantasies... Or perhaps they are considering buying her. Why not?
Gabriella Cianni brings her intimate knowledge of the Middle Ages, and her much-acclaimed mastery of the GORE style, to this tale. Slave in the Castle is steeped in eroticism and violence, often together... It is set in a cruel age when human life counted for little, and a woman was no more than a beast to be bought and sold in the market-place...
Excellent historical settings...
Credible, down to Earth characters...
And a situation that is not fiction so much as genuine historical drama...
