Maia by Richard Adams

The epic story of a not too bright but astoundingly beautiful girl who is sold by her mother and bought by an evil pervert. She sleeps with most of the powerful men of the most sybaritic city in the land and successfully saves/betrays two nations.

Favourite character was Elleroth who was full of wit, charm and delightful whimsy.

'Seeing through brick walls is rather a speciality of mine, you know. The clairvoyant freebooter-'

Was not biased in the buying of this book.. not at all.
