Leah Brownstone is a fiercely independent, determined, brave young woman, just the sort of woman that Tom Jefferson delights in taming. In the isolated community of Xanxta, where slavery is openly legal, has the snatched Leah met her match, or will she be able to defy Tom and all his methods and torments? Lucy Garrington is also a wildcat, but of a very different sort: a sexual submissive by nature, she longs for the sort of experience that Xanxta offers, but when she becomes Xanxta's first voluntary slave, will it prove too much for her? Then there is Slave Ellie, she of the delightful bubble butt, and Adrian, another complication in the slavery that has been imposed on Leah. And can even Leah's superbly honed athletic body cope with the rigours of being a pony girl, much less taking part in the Xanxta Races? Ian Smith's latest book chronicles the way these three teenage girls adjust to their new slave lives and the sometimes surprising and ultimately even uplifting things they discover about their true nature. After 30 years and as many books as a BDSM writer, Ian still creates new and interesting characters, each one unique in their own way.
