Amazon Nights Arthur Cofresi

References of Amazons date back to the time of Plato where he mentions trade between the Amazons and the island nation of Atlantis. In the "Iliad," a reference is made as to a battle that occurred between the Amazons, an ally of Troy and a Greek contingent led by the Greek hero, Achilles. The battle ended with the death of the Amazon queen, and therein lies the beginning of my tale. The novel, Amazon Nights, explores the question of, can a civilization of women (or men for that matter) exist without having some interaction with the other sex? The answer to that question rest with the plight of the new queen to produce a female heir to the throne. For that, she needs the assistance of a man, one that can woo her, seduce her, excite her, and eventually impregnate her. The chosen male for this union has other ideas. He wants more-a relationship that is an unconditional commitment to love. And while these two people work out their differences, a plot to overthrow the queen unfolds and a new king sets off to claim the Amazon world. Monitoring the events as they unfold is a champion for both the Amazon queen and her lover-the great goddess Hera. She, too, is seeking an unconditional commitment to love and will do all within her power to aid the lovestruck pair. The final chapter culminates in a battle said to be too insignificant to be chronicled in the history books, but be forewarned there can be only one winner as revealed when the day blends into Amazon nights.
