Forbidden Rites — Joan Bagnel

David--He was a stranger among Vidina's people, driven by the madness of his modern world, obsessed with the need to find peace. Hae had used many women, but only Vidina made him love.

Vidina--A simple Indian girl, she dreamed only to leave San Vincenzo and go to America. Now David-strong and tall, a godlike vision-was her dream come true.

Richardo--Fiercely proud and vengeful, he hoped to restore greatness to the Huichoi people. According to the ancient ways, Vidina was his...to do with as he pleased.

In a world of mystic rites, golden sun and silver white moonlight, Vidina freely gave her soul and being to one tormented, godlike man. She loved David, who attracted women only to destroy them.

Yet in Vidina, David would find a gentle heart to tame his savage desires-though the unleashed passion of an ancient cult mightdrive the lover to a terrifying ritual of death!
