Reviews
"A must for alternate history and historical fantasy fans, this novel will leave readers anxious for the next installment of Lauria's adventures." - Jen Talley Exum, Romantic Times
"I'm much more a science fiction than a fantasy reader, but on John Scalzi's recommendation I read Naomi Kritzer's Freedom's Gate and liked it very much. That led me to order the sequel, Freedom's Apprentice, which kept me up later than I meant to stay up last night." - Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit.com
Cover Copy
After years of relative peace, word has come to Kyros’s compound that the bandit tribe known as the Alashi is planning an offensive. It is up to Lauria to infiltrate the Alashi by posing as an escaped slave—a charge that requires she serve in the household of a neighboring officer. From there, she will stage an escape and continue on in her guise as a runaway.
But posing as a slave—a virgin concubine, no less—may prove the least of her troubles. For even if she does escape and the Alashi do accept her, how can this free-born woman convince them she is slave, not spy? And, worse, what if her own views are gradually changing, calling everything she believed about her world into question?
