The Virgin

the long version

From the back cover: STELLAR CHAMPION At his birth, Stefen was promised to the Virgin to be her Champion. Raised by the cat-like fenwapters, he learned to survive in the brutal jungle and to communicate with the deadly creatures that roamed it. But nothing had prepared Stefen for the agony of a direct meeting with the Virgin. For she was not alone, and Stefen could never have known the awesome identity of her lover -- nor the incredible power he possessed.
