Book Description
Femmes both fierce and fatale. “A superb slice of history served up in a grand manner” from the coauthor of Historical Heroines (Books Monthly). The world is full of women we don’t know whose stories have been overlooked or airbrushed from history. Often faced with limited life choices, this book proudly showcases those women who took matters into their own hands and became forces to be reckoned with. These are women you SHOULD know about. Love them or loathe them, they made their mark. From cross dressing soldiers to scheming mistresses and courtesans, Warriors and Wenches offers up an indulgent romp through centuries of history, from widows turned tank drivers bent on bloody vengeance and fierce martial arts fighters, to women who magnificently and outrageously turned their social lot in life to their advantage: the mistresses, courtesans and uniquely French maitresse-en-titres who wielded incredible power and influence in the sumptuous courts of Europe. Warriors and Wenches doesn’t seek to decide whether these women were “good” or “bad;” we’ll leave it up to you to make up your own minds. But these are just some of the women who, through military skill, incredible courage and loyalty, scandal, poison plots and sexual debauchery, have crossed over into the realm of legend and myth and become powerful symbols of feminist power. In the words of literary critic Charles-Augustin Sainte-Reuve, “When the destiny of a nation is in a woman’s bedroom, the best place for the historian is in the antechamber.” “An absolutely fascinating and informative read from cover to cover, and nicely enhanced with the inclusion of black-and-white illustrations.” —Midwest Book Review

A ruthless Norse warrior will defeat anything standing between him and his beautiful obsession - even Death itself.

Since then, he has reincarnated into different identities, with his memory of the past buried deep. This time he has returned as Declan Chase, a human soldier bent on exterminating all immortals - including Regin, his newest captive. The proud Northman that Regin still mourns has been replaced by a twisted madman. Once tortured by immortals, Chase now metes out vengeance against them, and he's fixated on her. Regin's only hope is to make him remember her, though she knows that whenever he recovers his memories, history will repeat itself, and he'll be lost to her again. . . .
