In 1656 Ireland, Mary Katherine O'Connor leads a miserable existence until she falls into a well and through the Great Hole. When she regains consciousness she finds herself on the planet Amazurn in the Silver Iris Galaxy. The portal between earth and Amazurn was called the Great Hole, named after the first queen of Amazurn, who, according to legend, had a harem of three thousand males and regularly bedded each and every one.

Mary Katherine is much happier on Amazurn where women are free to live as independently and as sexually fulfilled as they could possibly desire without any disgrace or chastisement. There are many opportunities for education and advancement for women. Mary Katherine takes advantage of as many as she can handle.

She and her partner, Jethrex, are the queen's pilots. Queen Pussyanna has ordered them to fly to the planet Tauroth to pick up Prince Great Sword and return him to Amazurn to marry Princess Twateeny. There was an agreement between Queen Pussyanna of Amazurn and King Gladpole of Tauroth. The marriage between their heirs would seal a treaty between the two worlds, so the mission must be carried out with great diplomacy by the queen's pilots.

The problem was that Princess Twateeny was the most spoiled and whiney brat in existence and the men of Tauroth were brutes who expected their women to jump to obey their every command. Mary Katherine and Jethrex were happy that their problem was only to get the prince to Amazurn. After he arrived it was all someone else's problem.

Mary Katherine and Jethrex will finally have enough money to refit their entire ship after this job and live in luxury. They plan to take a long vacation on a pleasure planet while the work on their ship is being done. They just want to pick up the prince and bring him to Amazurn as quickly and painlessly as possible. Then they'll be on their way.

Upon their arrival at Tauroth, Mary Katherine and Jethrex discover all the men to be big and burly with great hairy chests and all with golden blonde hair. King Gladpole's sons are named Comesmuch, Lipsosteel, Pleasurius, SilkTongue and Great Sword.

Prince Pleasurius tells Mary Katherine and Jethrex that Great Sword was chosen by Princess Twateeny when she requested that her husband have black hair. She probably thought that would get her out of the marriage. Prince Great Sword is the only one with black hair. Princess Twateeny didn't know about him. Great Sword is only half Taurothian. His mother came from the world of Vampirema and she raised Great Sword there until his father, King Gladpole, called them to Tauroth when he was fifteen.

Mary Katherine and Great Sword feel an instant attraction to each other. They try to fight it because their feelings are treasonous. When the ship is caught in a meteor storm and crash lands on Vampirema, Great Sword is severely wounded while protecting Mary Katherine and Jethrex from the explosion of the ship.

He will die unless he takes someone's blood. Mary Katherine gives him hers. It is such an erotic sexual experience without even taking their clothes off that there is no turning back for Great Sword and Mary Katherine. They become lovers even though it is treason.

Great Sword learns that his brother, BloodRover, is scheduled to fight a duel to the death with the leader of a neighboring clan for leadership of both clans. The evil clan has been raping and pillaging and murdering their people. If the evil leader, BloodSavage, wins the fight, their clan will plunder the castle of BloodRover's clan.

BloodRover has been injured in a hunting accident and will not be well enough to fight the evil leader. Great Sword volunteers to fight in his place to save their people. But Great Sword is only half Vampiremite. He won't have the strength of BloodSavage, unless he drinks the blood of a human from earth. But the human will be almost completely drained of blood and will be very close to death. Mary Katherine may not survive if she gives her blood to Great Sword to make him strong enough to fight BloodSavage.

If Great Sword takes Mary Katherine's blood so that he will be strong enough to face BloodSavage and Mary Katherine survives the loss of so much blood and Great Sword survives the fight with BloodSavage, then Great Sword is determined to marry Mary Katherine. They don't care if it is treason.

How can Prince Great Sword marry Princess Twateeny if he's already married to Mary Katherine? Will they both survive against all odds to be married and then put to death for treason? What of Princess Twateeny who refuses to marry any man from Tauroth? And what of the size problem that Twateeny and Great Sword will have to contend with? Twateeny is, um, well, she's teeny and Great Sword has a, um, well, he's got a great big sword. It doesn't bode well for the marriage or for the treaty.

You'll laugh your way through finding the answers while you discover how it all works out.
