Lady Mary Emmeline Athena's grandmother has arranged her marriage to the Greek Prince of Parnassus. Disillusioned by the palace gossips she ran away to Delphi, the shrine of Apollo, to pray about her future marriage. There, Athena met the handsome Orion, a man whose slim, athletic body made the fire in her breast burst into falen, She knew it was fate which had brought them together.

"Every moment, every second... I fall more deeply, more overwhelmingly in love". How could she love a man she had never met until that afternoon, Athena asked herself.

Then Athena was caught in the clutches of a dangerous bandit Kazandis, and now he had taken her to a great dark cave high in the rugged Greek mountains. As he shoved her against the wall he sneered,

"I want you, and now you're mine. No one will find you here."

Suddenly a rustling far below warned him. While he turned to look, a faint hope stirred within Athena. Edging forward on her knees, she looked through the opening.

Far beneath them a man was climbing up the steep precipice. With an indescribable feeling of relief, Athena knew it was Orion. He had returned to try and save her!
