| Upon a massive bench of polished ersite beneath the gorgeous blooms of a giant pimalia a woman sat. Her shapely, sandalled foot tapped impatiently upon the jewel-strewn walk that wound beneath the stately sorapus trees across the scarlet sward of the royal gardens of Thuvan Dihn, Jeddak of Ptarth, as a dark-haired, red-skinned warrior bent low toward her, whispering heated words close to her ear. "Ah, Thuvia of Ptarth," he cried, "you are cold even before the fiery blasts of my consuming love! No harder than your heart, nor colder is the hard, cold ersite of this thrice happy bench which supports your divine and fadeless form! Tell me, O Thuvia of Ptarth, that I may still hope - that though you do not love me now, yet some day, some day, my princess, I - " |
|
|
| Thuvia of Ptarth was no stranger to such places. During her wanderings in search of the River Iss, that time she had set out upon what, for countless ages, had been the last, long pilgrimage of Martians, toward the Valley Dor, where lies the Lost Sea of Korus, she had encountered several of these sad reminders of the greatness and the glory of ancient Barsoom. |
|
|
| Volume four of the epic Mars Series finds Thuvia, Princess of Ptarth abducted -- and the suspect is Carthoris, son of John Carter! |

Thuvia, Maid of Mars continues the Barsoom saga and describes the thrilling adventures of Carthoris, son of John Carter and Dejah Thoris. Although Thuvia (a Princess of a city friendly to that of John Carter and Dejah Thoris) is betrothed to a Jeddak of another city, Carthoris finds himself hopelessly in love with her. When she is kidnapped by a scorned suitor, Carthoris will let nothing prevent his sword blade from exacting retribution for this dishonor. Can Carthoris rescue Thuvia from her captors in time to prevent a Barsoom-wide war? More importantly, can he win her love? The Barsoom series is the favorite of many fans of Burroughs's works, and it's not hard to see why. Each volume in the series is filled with classic high adventure: swordfights, rescues, escapes and of course, true love! |
