Olwen the Barbarian vs the Sorceress of Sappho - A Lesbian Fantasy

Veronica Sloan

Summary

When the Prince of Darthia is kidnapped by the sorceress Callista, his only hope lies in Olwen the Barbarian, a legendary female warrior. Intimately familiar with the Sorceress of Sappho, Olwen must now do battle with her former lover. Will their reunion end in bloody tragedy...or a rekindling of their sapphic romance?

~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~

For what felt like the hundredth time in as many days, Olwen's strength failed her. The girl's hair slipped from her fingers and she fell back against the bundled wool that served as her pillow.

"Oh," the sorceress murmured. "Are you in pain?"

"Why couldn't you kill me?" Olwen rasped. "I...I cannot live with this shame."

Callista's thumb skated beneath Olwen's blue eyes, wiping her tears away. "Is it really so hard as that? I've lived in shame most of my life. And look, I've managed to beat a barbarian into submission."

"You did not beat me," Olwen said.

"Shhh," the girl chided.

"Do not silence me!"

"I'm sorry," the girl laughed.

"Kill me now," Olwen growled. "Kill me or I swear I shall have vengeance, not only for Viatrix but for this humiliation!"

"Oh, trust me, a little humiliation works wonders. It's very motivating. I'm sure even a big mean barbarian can stand to be humbled now and again--especially when she faces a superior foe."

Olwen struggled to rise from her bed but the sorceress easily pinned her to the straw. She thrust her head back against the wool, helpless and defeated. "I wasn't strong enough," she said. The words cut their way through the iron lump in her throat. "I...failed. I have never failed."

Callista drew the barbarian's eyes to her bare thigh, and the poultice she'd applied to her jagged bite. "Is not life itself a victory?" she asked quietly. "I owe you mine."

"Our debt is settled."

"Not quite. I have nursed you, yes, but you still suffer."

Olwen could not answer. Her rage burned into her sorrow until the emotions were inseparable. It gnawed at her insides like the fangs of a pig rat. She heard her father's words atop the Skuggi mountains. "If you should fall..." There was victory or nothing, that was the barbarian way. She fought desperately to block the next tears that bled from her eyes, and fought too the sob that wrenched from her throat. Despite the fire and the wool blanket, she shivered. Was the sorceress right? Did she suffer? Yes, she did. The defeat hurt worse than any wound.

When she felt the girl's lips touch her own, the relief was too welcome to deny. Olwen closed her eyes into the kiss, and it was soft and warm, tentative but eager. Callista's thin fingers slid from Olwen's jaw to the space behind her ear, parting her lips in a reflexive moan and caressing her cautious tongue. Callista's tongue... When she withdrew, Olwen whimpered.

This book aims to explore the essence of Taoism, its core teachings, and its relevance in the modern world.
At the heart of Taoism is the concept of the Tao, often translated as "the Way." The Tao represents the fundamental principle that underlies and unites all things in the universe.

This book delves into the core beliefs and practices of Taoism, emphasizing its emphasis on simplicity, humility, and compassion. The teachings of Taoism encourage individuals to embrace the spontaneity of life, to cultivate inner peace, and to foster a deep sense of connection with the natural world. By exploring the principles of yin and yang, the significance of Wu Wei (effortless action), and the pursuit of harmony, readers will discover how Taoism offers a pathway to balance and fulfillment.
In our contemporary world, characterized by rapid change and constant distraction, the wisdom of Taoism serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and finding tranquility within ourselves.

Anthropology - Understanding...

Mike Crawford

Anthropology is the holistic study of humanity, examining human origins, cultural development, social structures, language, and biological evolution. It seeks to understand what it means to be human by analyzing the past, studying present societies, and considering future changes. Unlike other disciplines that focus on a single aspect of human life, anthropology integrates multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of human existence.
The field of anthropology is traditionally divided into four main branches: biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Biological anthropology focuses on human evolution, genetics, and physical adaptation, comparing humans to primates and studying fossil records to understand the biological roots of our species. Cultural anthropology examines the customs, beliefs, and social institutions of different societies, exploring how culture shapes human behavior and interactions. Linguistic anthropology investigates the role of language in human communication, social identity, and cultural transmission. Archaeology studies past human civilizations through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and environmental data, providing insight into how societies developed over time.
A key principle of anthropology is cultural relativism, which emphasizes understanding cultures within their own context rather than judging them by external standards. This contrasts with ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture is superior to others. By adopting cultural relativism, anthropologists aim to promote a deeper appreciation for human diversity and challenge stereotypes and biases. Fieldwork, often involving ethnographic research, is a fundamental method in anthropology.

The Ming Dynasty - Maritime...

Jun Liu

The Ming Dynasty, one of China's most influential and enduring dynasties, emerged in the aftermath of the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty’s decline. It was a period marked by great transformation, political consolidation, and cultural revival. The dynasty's establishment under Zhu Yuanzhang, later known as Emperor Hongwu, signified the restoration of Han Chinese rule and the reinforcement of Confucian governance. Through military conquest, administrative reforms, and strategic centralization of power, the Ming Dynasty laid the foundation for a strong and prosperous China.
The fall of the Yuan Dynasty was driven by internal corruption, economic mismanagement, and widespread discontent. Mongol rulers faced difficulties controlling the vast empire, and their reliance on foreign administrators alienated the native Chinese population. Heavy taxation and frequent natural disasters exacerbated social unrest, leading to a series of revolts across the country. Among these rebellions, the Red Turban Rebellion, a movement rooted in peasant uprisings and religious discontent, played a crucial role in undermining Yuan authority. It was within this turbulent period that Zhu Yuanzhang, a former Buddhist monk turned military leader, rose to prominence. His leadership and military strategies enabled him to unify rebel factions and ultimately overthrow the Mongols in 1368, marking the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
Upon ascending the throne, Emperor Hongwu sought to consolidate power and rebuild a nation weakened by war and misrule. His first priority was to eliminate threats to his rule, which led to purges against those he suspected of disloyalty. To prevent a recurrence of Yuan-era administrative failures, he restructured the government, reducing the influence of court eunuchs and emphasizing Confucian ideals in governance. He also reinstated the civil service examination system, ensuring that officials were selected based on merit rather than birthright.

Horace - Poet on a Volcano...

Peter Stothard

A biography of Horace, one of the most popular poets from antiquity, revealing the little-known man behind his famous lines 
 
 
  
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65–8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been read. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but. 
 
 
  
In this book, the first modern retelling of Horace's life, Peter Stothard follows the poet from his birth as the son of a formerly enslaved father through his rise to the highest circles of Roman society. He shines a light on how shattering experiences in the war to save Rome's republic shaped the loyal servant and revolutionary artist he became. With astute scholarship and sympathy, Stothard follows Horace's rise from humble beginnings to the social and political heights of the autocracy he had fought to prevent.
