Frederick Hambling brings us the complete two-parts of his sequel to his classic of interracial gender-warfare, "Chattel".

With "Indenture By Other Means", the three year agreement that had seen Robert Samuels become the servant of his neighbour, Navya Chakraborty, in order to keep his home at the end of that period has finally reached its end.

Or has it?

Confident that the levels of domestic and physical dependency she has induced in the older man will make him receptive to a more long-term and binding arrangement, Navya misjudges that confidence and allows herself to make Robert an offer that is not only rejected but declined in total.

And with no small heat!

A rejection that sends the would-be Malkin into a depression as she realises her over-confidence has lost her the fantasy most dear to her heart.

Or has it?

Believable and female-led fantasy fiction for those readers who prefer to use their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines.
