Tipori: A Tale From Dessos
A champion pit fighter crowned king of slavers.

A military leader collared and made to kneel.

An attraction of opposing forces that could topple an empire.

For six long months, Mascha has tried and failed to break his new slave, former Commander Maralla Evallier. While he dreads resorting to crueler tactics, his employer grows impatient, and rumors of the slave's defiance threaten all that Mascha has built.

Maralla would rather die than be wrapped in chains again. Determined to return to her people and the war in which her family was killed, she nearly succeeds in fleeing Mascha's palace, but a stroke of ill fortune places her back in her captor's arms-a place she loathes more than anything, until an act of compassion permits a glimpse behind the slaver's mask.

Despite the damage she's done to his reputation, Mascha can't help but admire Maralla's cunning wit and tactical mind. When his employer gives him an ultimatum-break the unbreakable or forfeit his seat at the top of their empire-Mascha strikes a deal with Maralla. She'll play the perfect slave, and he'll help her return home after her sale. But as their shared animosity crumbles into a dangerous attraction, Mascha learns the only thing more precious than his fortune is the woman he has promised to save.

Sell supposedly lives in the Midwestern United States with a home full of furry critters, including her two boys and doting husband, but she really spends most of her time on Dessos battling sorcerers or negotiating trade deals with pirates. She graduated from Washburn University with a creative writing degree, but didn't bother to do anything with it until COVID when she ran out of excuses. When she's not writing, she enjoys bowling, crochet, and riding her '82 Sportster.
