Download or read book Dream Dancer written by Janet Morris and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dream Dancer takes you empires beyond. . . Neither pure fantasy, nor straight science fiction, nor earthbound dynastic saga, Dream Dancer is a stunning amalgam of all three. It is a family saga with the timeless appeal of Lord of the Rings, the epic grandeur of Dune, and the action and excitement of Star Wars. It is a saga of love, power and treachery that will appeal to men and women equally; full of action, compulsively readable, and quite unlike being published in the realm of fantasy today, The heroine, Shebat, is a remarkable girl from Earth. She is brought to the vast empire of the Kerrion family by a renegade son; named as its future ruler on the whim of his autocratic father; abducted to the slums where Kerrion slaves drug themselves with powerful, mystical sorcery; and finally rescued to take part in a great rebellion. She falls in love with one brother but marries another, and becomes more a Kerrion than some born to the name. A magical seductress of men, passionate in her lust for power, Shebat moves among those who control the destinies of millions, for whom treachery and betrayal are as easy as murder. Set in the timeless future on a primitive, savage Earth and on the sophisticated and palatial habitats of deep space, Dream Dancer is the first volume of a three-part saga. The second volume, Cruiser Dreams, will be coming soon.

Book excerpt: Courtesan and criminal, thief and trollop, warrior and wanderer--the picara embodies the continuing archetypal pattern of a woman's autonomy. She is the sly sharpster in Defoe's heroines such as Roxana and Moll Flanders. With an ancestress like Becky Sharp, the picara evolves into Scarlett O'Hara before finding a comfortable niche as the female hero in fantasy written by women. The Picara traces the development of this character, from an autonomous woman in a harsh patriarchal society to the female hero of the modern fantasy novel.
