After the death of her father, Princess
Daphne Eresteou is stripped of her royal status and reduced to
being a servant to her cousin, who is now princess when her
father became the new king. Realizing that she could not
leave her people behind and let them suffer the wrath of the
king, Daphne stays and is subjected to cruel treatment at the
hands of her family. Her situation goes from bad to worse
when it is decreed that she is to be sacrificed to the Kraken
because of crimes committed by her cousin and uncle.
The Kraken inspires fear in all humans,
Daphne included. Although she does not remember it, Daphne
met these three sea serpents in another form and all were
quite taken with her. Plador, Polyphemus, and Porimus are
sons of Poseidon, and can shift into the Kraken form as
needed. After their earlier tasting of Daphne, they are
satisfied to finally be able to consume her.
Food for the Gods lives up to its title –
Daphne is definitely eaten by them, quite thoroughly I would
say. Daphne was a little too self-effacing for my taste, but
not out of character for the setting. Plador, Polyphemus, and
Porimus could easily satisfy any woman; having all three focus
their attention on her makes Daphne a very lucky woman. But I
didn’t get too much insight on them and would have welcomed a
longer story if I could learn more about them. Zeus and
Poseidon’s short, but humorous appearances lighten up the
sexually intense story. Satisfy your cravings with Food
for the Gods. |
