About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Amalzain has come from the mountains to serve as cupbearer to King Famorgh in the palace at Miraab, and he is young, chaste, and utterly out of his depth. The king's daughter Ulua is voluptuous, imperious, and versed in arts her father would rather not know about.
She wants him. He refuses her.
What follows is not vengeance of the ordinary kind. Night after night, in his chamber and in his dreams, Ulua sends visions of impossible beauty to break his will, and when beauty fails she sends the other thing: the loveliness rotting as he watches, the caress of corpses, a procession of the amorous dead who will not leave him be.
Only his master Sabmon, the anchorite, stands between him and the sorceress. A tale of the dying continent of Zothique, decadent and macabre, and one of the most sensuous horrors Smith ever wrote.
