New Camelot's Merchant Prince

Brigid de Clare is a Vessel. Her body is a prison for an ancient Egyptian lion-goddess of war named Sekhmet. Brigid must find a mate to help her control the deity within her. He must be a lion-a man that is strong-willed and brave, a leader among men. It will be his onus to help her subdue the deity trapped in her subconscious. Sekhmet has two sides to her personality: the lioness who is forever hungry and eager to chase and take down her prey; and the cat, a playful and nurturing creature. When Brigid is under attack, the lioness physically manifests and defends her. Should the lioness escape Brigid's mental control and consume a blood feast, the living goddess Sekhmet will escape her Vessel prison, summon her beastly minions and destroy humanity. To keep the lioness subdued and Sekhmet imprisoned, Brigid relies upon a magical amulet. Via a circuitous route, the amulet has freed itself from her possession and landed in the hands of Eamon Durrow. Eamon began his career as a horse rustler. He elevated himself out of the gutter to become a crime lord, a clan leader and a wealthy merchant. He is determined to drag his nefarious family into the ranks of respectability. When villains attack Brigid and take the amulet, the goddess is freed to reign terror upon the earth. Eamon must find a way to return Sekhmet back into the Vessel without the magical amulet or the powerful fey of New Camelot will destroy Sekhmet and Brigid.
