Traveling mercenary Samantha Redwyne just wants an easy job so she can afford to protect her loved ones, when she finds herself swept up in a city's violent rebellion. An idealistic revolutionary leader seeks her sword, urging her to fight for a cause. But causes don't always pay, and an eccentric and seductive baroness, more concerned with the latest masquerade than her own citizens, promises plenty of coin and a life of leisure for Samantha's lethal services. Samantha finds herself embroiled in schemes and intrigue between these two great forces, and after tragedy and the ultimate betrayal, she puts her life on the line to save her friends. Her fight grows far beyond a simple town revolution, and she must give everything she has in the name of survival, redemption, and bloody revenge.

"The Naked Man is the fourth and final volume [of Mythologiques], written by the most influential and probably the most controversial anthropologist of our time. . . . Myths from North and South America are set side by side to show their transformations: in passing from person to person and place to place, a myth can change its content and yet retain its structural principles. . . . Apart from the complicated transformations discovered and the fascinating constructions placed on these, the stories themselves provide a feast."—Betty Abel, Contemporary Review "Lévi-Strauss uses the structural method he developed to analyze and 'decode' the mythology of native North Americans, focusing on the area west of the Rockies. . . . [The author] takes the opportunity to refute arguments against his method; his chapter 'Finale' is a defense of structural analysis as well as the closing statement of this four-volume opus which started with an 'Ouverture' in The Raw and the Cooked."—Library Journal "The culmination of one of the major intellectual feats of our time."—Paul Stuewe, Quill and Quire
