RECAP OF THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS This is the story of Sara, a Dutch woman, who is captured by the Barbary pirates on her way to the Dutch East Indies. She is given as a present to the Bey, the ruler of Tunis. His first wife appoints Sara as the nanny of the royal children as the eunuchs deem her too old to be send to their master's bed. However when they Be...
By the close of the Achaemenid Empire, there was a great movement across the plains of this side of Armenia, and with it a new age and a new leader. I'd already heard of Alexander III of Macedon, having come from the west already myself, and I was learning that his name was well firmed with the powers here, too. The man had even been made a Pharaoh in Egypt!...
The Empress sat on her throne, trembling as the enemy approached her Great Hall. Her lower lip quivered, goose bumps formed on her flesh, and the chill of fear gave her the shivers. The Nasucrean Empire had fallen, and there was no saving it. She was the last Empress, the end of a long line of female sovereigns who had dominated the civilized world. Sadly...
Dey was giggling. She wasn't supposed to be giggling, but her mistress was unusually laid-back, cold but not cruel. Peeking from behind a curtain that hung in a doorway, Dey happily expressed herself. It wasn't until Jorun walked over to her and shooed her off that Inka could find the necessary silence.

Tetenia and her father, King Ulsan, arrived at the traditional temp...

The streets were still lined with flower sellers stalls although where the blooms came from in these difficult times He really had no notion. Life in Drox was full of puzzles, an international city of such beauty and vibrancy that even the shadow of war couldn't darken its buo...
With spring came the arrival of Pollen Lady Hayun's child, a tiny boy she named Arata. The prince seemed to have been greeted by the fresh green scenery. Empress Miseo held the child for a time, cooing down at him and telling him he was already so clever. Then, she handed the child over to the Emperor, who was stupidly grinning, not that anybody would've d...
PROLOGUE There she lay and as naked as the day she was born while her eyes were locked on the beautiful young cherubs that were lip locked to each of her breasts. Her nipples erect and elongated well beyond anything her memory or even her masturbatory imagination could possibly conceive. Yet as they painfully ached deep in the mouths of these beautiful cre...
