Joe Smith

As a young queen, Lessja did her best to be fair and to lead her tribe with integrity. The Amazon war had devastated her tribe. In an effort to strengthen her tribe and the other remaining Amazon tribes she tried the convince the Amazons who moved out of their territories to return. Part of her plan was to reintroduce the Summer Games. During these games, Amazons competed in various combat sports. Old scores were settled and new rivalries were born. Wars started because of disputes during the games. But Lessja wanted the games to build trust and respect between the remaining tribes. Death matches would not be allowed and all Amazons would be encouraged to compete in the right spirit. But when an opportunity presented itself to Lessja to kill an enemy, she had to decide whether to follow her own rules, or whether to risk all to get revenge. The book follows the lives of a group of Amazons. They fight each other, make love to each other, make enemies and true friends.

London in the 17th century was a difficult place to make a living, especially for a young woman from the worker class. Betty's choices were limited.

Life was tough, but it was about to become even tougher. When a couple of prostitutes attacked her at a pub, she almost lost her life. But, Mr. von Kleist, a rich gentleman, saved her. The only reason he did this was because her fighting skills impressed him. Now in his debt, Betty had to fight for his female fighting stable until her debt was paid off.

But Mr. von Kleist had a different plan for Betty. He was looking for a fighter good enough to challenge Elizabeth Stokes, the championess of England. To test her skills, he forced her to fight in many brutal fights. Betty saw only one way to earn her freedom. She had to fight and beat Elizabeth Stokes. Along the way, she made some friends and enemies. She was also introduced to the pleasures of having female lovers.

We all walk a journey, what to grab and take away? To pass and keep? Shadow or light, calm waters among rough tides. Where is shore? A steady need for energy, but the very air we breathe for granted. Which pathway goes where and for how long? Passages speeding through time. Just might be.
