The long awaited new work by Manning! Worth the wait as his art has become more magnificent and searing than ever! In the cybernetic paradise known as the Spider Garden, the pursuit of pleasure has been elevated to an art form. The Gardens voluptuous caretaker Sasaya Nijan invents countless erotic entertainments for her multi-sexed mastress, Shaalis the Sacred Androgyne. From every land in the Empire, decadent aristocrats arrive to pay homage and sample the Gardens delights. Meanwhile, in the oceans depths, jealous eyes are watching. Squamata and Lichurna, the incestuous Serpentine Sisters, have plans for Sasaya. With the reluctant assistance of Sasayas former lovers, the impetuous Magnate Verio and the inhuman Tengu lord Gion, the Sisters weave a plot which will ensnare the sensuous Sasaya in a web of intrigue and insanity.
