Three books of interracial and female-led fantasy open with Malkin Jamali's "The Indenturing", and her tale of how a long married Englishman's misdeeds catch-up with him when the Indian widow who is now his employer discovers he has been quietly embezzling money from her company to pay his gambling addiction and, more life threateningly, his debt to a Chinese mobster… A mobster perfect for the assertive Indian widow about to offer him a deal that will keep her employee at her side for good! "Chattel" from Frederick Hambling follows and describes how a man in desperate straits is offered a lifeline by his Indian neighbour. A lifeline that will enable him to keep the home he loves after losing his wife to a lesbian lover and his career soon after. The proposition from his female neighbour involving a period in her own home functioning as a live-in servant… And doing so in exactly the same way as a servant from her own land! We finish with Rafael Menton's "Adhira Khatri", and meet Thomas Hudson; a man who has been betrayed by the people closest to him and exacted a suitably physical retribution. A retribution that has led to the loss of both his freedom and his young daughter after his anger led to him being sentenced for attempted murder… Anger that soon became weakness and fear during a terrifying stay in prison… A weakness and fear the Indian woman with fantasies of control who had once been his neighbour was about to use to fashion him into the kind of Englishman of whom she had always dreamed! Believable female-led fantasy fiction for those readers who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines.
