On the lost world of Wolf, Race Cargill of the Terran Secret Service is bound to two peoples at once, held to one by duty, to the other by love, where the battle is fought in men's minds.

Marion Zimmer Bradley's 1961 novel is a rich adventure and space opera, an early tale of her Darkover-adjacent Terran Empire. Vivid, romantic, atmospheric. Read it for classic Bradley, a scarred agent drawn back into intrigue on an exotic, decadent world, where loyalty and desire pull a man between two civilizations.
