Ancient Greece. Young, lovely and pampered, Chryseis determines to make the most of every erotic opportunity before her impending arranged marriage. Acantha, the proud, athletic female mercenary employed as a guardian of Chryseis's virtue, has little in common with her young charge - other than an almost insatiable appetite for debauchery.Disaster strikes during a sea voyage to the wedding and the women are washed up on the wrong side of their island destination. As they continue their journey they forge numerous lascivious new alliances, and the powerful sexual charge which underlies their dislike of each other becomes increasingly evident. But many dangers must also be faced - not least those posed by the mysterious and orgiastic followers of Dionysus.
