Lust is urgent overpowering and potent. While in real life readers may not always act every time desire calls in fiction they can abandon the safety of propriety to seek out lust and sex wherever they find them. The characters in Women in Lust may vary in the objects of their lust and how they go about acting on it but what connects them is that pure impulse for a lover. Sometimes he is someone she knows well a boyfriend or a husband; in other stories he is a stranger and is desirable precisely because he represents the unknown.

Exiled from his native land when it was invaded by Alizon, he spent his youth in Paltendale where he was treated as an outsider, especially by Hogeth, an heir of that dale, who resented Lorcan's presence when both were still young men.

It spoke of a woman with black hair and emerald eyes who with her magic will free this land...” “So what you’re trying to tell us,” Rueben jested, his eyebrows rose, “is that this girl, this maid, is the key to defeating the army and freeing us all?” War is coming, one that threatens the lives of every inhabitant of the Nations. In a time of sorrow and oppression many cannot see past their daily struggle to survive. Yet a darker force looms, inciting war and feasting on the control that will surely follow. The world is slowly dying and none have the power to stop it, save one innocent maid. The unlikeliest of heros yet it is Wynn who is thrust into the role.

Following the Foreseeing leads Wynn to make difficult choices and sets her on a path she does not know if she can walk.
