{"product_id":"9781938185014","title":"Warrior Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is not a typical Marion Zimmer Bradley novel. This book is the result of a bet between Marion and Don Wollheim, her editor for the Darkover novels at DAW Books. In addition, it's her response to the Gor novels - where men were men and women were slaves - that were also being published by DAW Books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, this book does start out with a heroine who has been captured and is being sold as a slave, who has amnesia and remembers nothing of her life before the trip across the desert with the slavers - and, due to a head injury, remembers mercifully little of that. But she does know that she would rather fight in the arena than be a harlot for the men who do, and that choice changes the rest of the book. In a Gor-style novel the woman would become less her own person, eventually learning to be a contented and obedient slave. In this book, even while the heroine, called Zadieyek of Gyre, remains a slave, she is something quite different from the typical 'slave girl' - she grows and develops, always searching for her memory and her past, convinced that this is not how her life is supposed to be. And, of course, she's right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053116473584,"sku":"9781938185014","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938185014_p0.jpg?v=1763662574","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938185014","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
