The Taking of Ariel, A Tale of Aeodar

by J.V. Altharas

Lord Arius can't help but intercede when he sees a slave being mercilessly beaten. He confiscates the slaves, returning home with them after seeing justice done to their former master.

Rescued from a cruel fate and on the heels of a long journey, Ariel is more than ready for a bath, a shave and a thorough inspection from her new master.

I think I'm in love.....

J.V. Just has a magical way of spinning his Fantasy world. He has built a world I believe in and would love to travel to!

He has expertly flushed out characters and I can't wait to read his full length novels!

Great writer, great erotica, great fantasy, GREAT STORY!

Second story I've read by this author...he really draws you into this fantasy world he's created. I would love to read more of this story-line and world. Not true erotica, but enough heat to make an enjoyable read (I'm naughty...I ninja-read this at work!)

(BTW- he has a great podcast too, that I just recently learned about...it's making my work commute really fun!)

Um... not really sure what this was. It was supposed to be fantasy erotica but I didn't find it erotic at all. The world was cool though. I liked the "progressive" way that the Carellian's treated slaves.

Thought for a short story this was great. It seemed more like a prologue to a full book, but I'll take what I can get. I liked the how well the slaves were to be treated, and how well Ariel was taken care of by Arius. I hope there are going to be more tales of Aeodar in the future.

Great premise...I so wish this was a longer story!

[Vivian · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'd probably have rated this higher if it were longer, as it stands it is a fine beginning or prologue, but is incomplete. Good writing and characters worth reading about; I just need more.

2-2 ½ stars - Fantasy Erotic Short Story

Not bad for a random find and an erotic freebie that's a super quickie read...only 16 pages.

This was a pretty decent short story. I would read more by this author.

Great short story, I can't wait to read more about Aeodar and the Lord of Exodus.

[Carolyn F. · Rating 2 out of 5]

Short story, 13 pages.

Lords and slaves and ships and kingdoms. Not my favorite genre. **

Overall a Fun read!
