Synopsis: Laura Antoniou's Marketplace series is one of a kind. The books depict a rich alternative reality with an honor-bound system of slave market hierarchies, but this is no fantasyland of perfect masters and unquestioning servants.

Antoniou creates fully realized characters who struggle with loyalty, duty and service. In this volume, Antoniou, with a little help from her friends, creates a sort of Arabian Nights of the Marketplace, with individual stories woven into a larger tale full of political intrigue, difficult choices, and of course, searingly hot sex. There's nothing else like this is in the world of erotic writing.
Lori Selke

Now in service as a junior trainer, Michael LaGuardia joins Chris Parker and dozens of other trainers at the Academy, the annual international gathering of trainers and spotters, and learns more about the lives of the men and women who train the exquisite Marketplace slaves...including the mysterious Chris Parker himself. In an entirely new form of literature, The Academy is a full-length novel incorporating independent short stories written by Guest Authors. KarenTaylor, Michael Hernandez, david stein, M. Christian and Cecilia Tan delve into the world of the Marketplace and turn up tales of power, sex, and surrender...the kinds of stories Trainers tell each other to inspire, teach, or warn.

But more is going on at the Academy than storytelling. What is Chris Parker's mission during this Academy and why is the 'Trainer of Trainers', Anderson, not there? Who are the top slave trainers in the world, and how do they work? Will Michael LaGuardia, now in service as a junior trainer, ever understand the essence of submission or ownership? In addition, in a special novelette begun for this book, when did Chris Parker fust meet Anderson, and how did he enter the marketplace?
