Padraig and Caradoc were lovers in the ancient Britain. Padraig as priest and Caradoc as the river god Padraig worshipped. But christianity demands that all the men worshipped only a god and if priests refuse to do so, pain and suffer will bring to their village. So Padraig denied his god and lover with words, but his heart remained true. But Caradoc was banned cause the betrayal and suffers centuies of exile.

Now on the Samahin night of a post-apocalitc world, Caradoc is back to take his vengeance on the reincarnated soul of Padraig. Patrick is a twenty five years old survivor, who feels a strong connection with this man he approaches on Samhain night. But now he will be strong enough to not betray Caradoc again?

A brief novel with some interesting points. The setting is pratically no existent: it could be a post apocalitic world like our ages, like the past. All you read is about Caradoc and Patrick. The sex is very explicit and graphic, very detailed and almost all the book. Is not bad: if you want to read some very sexy scenes, you have your book. But I can feel something more under it, and will be glad to read a novel longer and with a more complete plot by this author.

Which One Of The Seven Deadly Sins Are You?




Your Sin:Sloth
Your Sign:Saturn
Your Color:Light Blue
Your Animal:Goat
Your Punishment In Hell:Thrown Into Snake Pits
Attitude:Lazy
Info:More than other sins, the definition of Sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness. It had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what modern writers would now describe as apathy, depression, and joylessness the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world He created. Originally, its place was fulfilled by two other aspects, Acedia and Sadness. The former described a spiritual apathy that affected the faithful by discouraging them from their religious work. Sadness (tristitia in Latin) described a feeling of dissatisfaction or discontent, which caused unhappiness with one's current situation. When St. Thomas Aquinas selected Acedia for his list, he described it as an "uneasiness of the mind," being a progenitor for lesser sins such as restlessness and instability. Dante refined this definition further, describing Sloth as being the "failure to love God with all one's heart, all one's mind and all one's soul." He also described it as the middle sin, and as such was the only sin characterised by an absence or insufficiency of love. In his Purgatorio, the slothful penitents were made to run continuously at top speed.The modern view of the vice, as highlighted by its contrary virtue zeal/diligence, is that it represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. For example, a student who does not work beyond what is required (and thus fails to achieve his or her full potential) could be labelled 'slothful'.Current interpretations are therefore much less stringent and comprehensive than they were in medieval times, and portray Sloth as being more simply a sin of laziness, of an unwillingness to act, an unwillingness to care (rather than a failure to love God and His works). For this reason Sloth is now often seen as being considerably less serious than the other sins.
