| 1 | The Awakening / Zuleika and the Barbarian | 2003 | Bertrice Small | Buy |
Bertrice Small’s short story collection contains The Awakening and Zuleika and the Barbarian, two novellas published together in 2003. Both stories feature the historical settings and boldly explicit romantic content that defined Small’s career, but in a more compact format than her full-length novels.
These shorter works give readers a taste of Small’s style without the commitment of a multi-book series. Fans of her longer novels will recognize the same type of fierce heroines and vividly described historical backdrops that appear in her series like the Skye O’Malley Saga and The Border Chronicles.
