Prince of Scorpio

Dray Prescot has fought long and hard through perilous lands to claim the hand of the heiress to the mighty Vallia. Yet, when finally he sets foot in that long-sought empire, it is not as hero or noble... It is as an unknown, a mendicant, and finally as a condemned slave. The combatant fates that have interfered continually with his quest on the planet of the twin suns of Antares have yet more tests for the man they selected as their agent. But for Dray there is only one goal—already in sight—and he would not be turned aside any longer no matter what dangers Vallian intrigues and quasi-human mysteries may have in store for him.
