Profile Picture
BS

A combined project by authors Matt Afsahi and Barbara Dysonwilliams, "The Road of Silk" may be one of the few fantasy novels with a female protagonist, but its world is still centered around and dominated by men. She is a courageous hero, but still thoroughly a feminine, "damsel in distress" character.
