This review is from: The Virgin and the Tower (Paperback)

"Goddess Of Passion...Stranger To Love. She was Harim, oracle chosen by the gods to command kings and conquerors: a virgin consecrated to Inanna, goddess of love, passion, and fertility; a woman condemned to preside over the act of love in the royal chambers- but never to taste its joys herself. He was Gilgamesh, King of Kings, mightiest of warriors, beloved ruler of An. Builder of the tower that would be his epitaph. The world was his to order until he met a power greater than all the armies on earth... a love forbidden by the fates, a passion that burned beyond the sands of Babylon."
