Intent on nursing injured British soldiers in Egypt, Grace is soon swept along in the violent reality of the Mahdist War. When she is captured by victorious Mahdist forces, Grace finds herself among the General's harem. But under the lash Grace discovers a sexual enlightenment, and within the Mahdi's bed she loses herself in the wildest of abandons.
