The Kamasutra - India's famous love manual has been dated to somewhere between the 3rd and 6th Century CE. But it's author, Sage Vatsyayana, was only the compiler of the sutra. Lost in the annals of history is his inspiration, the first study of erotic experiences conducted by a royal scribe of the Satvahana Dynasty that ruled the western part of present day India in the 1st and 2nd Century CE. King Astra - a big bear of a man who ruled over Nasikatrhi had 3 wives and a palace of 72 concubines. Things came to a head when he married for the fourth time - an incandescent beauty, the royal princess Veda who was nubile, goddess-like and more desirable than any woman in the kingdom. Unable to satisfy her and overcome with the desire to do so, Astra ordered his royal scribe, the young and handsome Dhruv to write a book guiding the king on sexual congress to please his new bride - the Kamashastra. To do this, the scribe was given a free rein over the king's palace of concubines. Thus began Dhruv's quest which led him to various beds - from different women, the young and virile scribe learnt different techniques - literally going where no man had been before. So absorbed was he in his thirst, that he soon caught the eye of the queens - including the unattainable, the unreachable Queen Veda. Entangled in the jealous web of the other queens, court politics, the rising Bhraman disapproval as well the King's impending wrath, Dhruv wrote a masterpiece which revealed the conjugal secrets of bliss and climax - what women did in the sanctuary of their inner chambers, the different types of women basis their sexuality, the elevated pleasures of enjoying sex with more than one partner, the excitement caused by the danger of exhibitionism, voyeurism, skilled and pleasurable bondage and games played beneath the surface. The liberation, salvation and damnation of sex and lust. This is the story of the discovery of sexual release. This is the Kamashastra. This is a work of fiction. Unless otherwise indicated, all the names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents in this book are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

The third book in the Of Flesh & Bone series from New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods, where the heated Fae romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses meets The Witcher. Once, I'd chosen my mate instead of freedom. For weeks, we retraced our steps back to Mistfell and the lingering shadow of the Veil at the boundary between realms. Traveling through the kingdom, I denied the evidence in front of me, unable to fathom that I wasn't the lost princess of Faerie. Instead, it is Fallon who must fear the consequences of her heritage. Which leaves me with a single, unanswered question. Then, I awoke, caged high above the throne of the Queen of Air & Darkness. Mab is the Queen who keeps all of Alfheimr held squirming within her clawed grasp. She uses the children of Faerie to sustain the magic granted to her by the cursed gem atop her crown, which has carved her from the girl she once was into a dark vessel, obsessed with power. She thrives on cruelty, and wields our love as an instrument for pain. Now, I'll play the games of the Fae. I'm a curiosity, my presence an enigma that was never foreseen. I may not be Mab's daughter, yet she still keeps me close, as she forges me into a weapon against humans and Fae alike. Mab may not own me yet, but she controls the life of the man I love. There is nothing I wouldn't do to see him freed. Even if I have to become the villain to do it.

Perfect for fans of HBO’s Game of Thrones—a boxed set featuring the first five novels! An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin—dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine—international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow.

All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys. “Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
