Publisher's summary

Laura Antoniou's modern classic of BDSM-themed fiction returns. In The Marketplace, the first book of the series, follow the trials and tribulations of four aspiring slaves as they undergo training hoping to be accepted into the secret underground society of masters and slaves known as the Marketplace. Under the firm hand of Grendel, the sharp eye of Alexandra, and the painful leather strap in the hands of Chris, these men and women will find some of their hardest challenges come from within themselves. They embark on a sensual and erotic journey, and yet nothing is quite as they expect in their quest to serve.

Such a great fantasy story and also a great narrator. Already about to begin the next book. I highly recommend this to people in and out of the kink community.

Very Excited!

Any additional comments?

Several years ago I read the entire Marketplace series. I fell in love with them. After having lost my eyesight a couple of years ago I have been hoping this book would make it to audible. A few months ago I heard it was coming! Words cannot express how excited I am to be able to experience this story once again and will be anxiously awaiting the rest of the series! Thank you!

Beautifully and simply written

I have been reading (and rereading) Laura Antoniou's books for over 20 years. The stories are well written, self reflective and funny at times. There is a cast of diverse, 3 dimensional characters that vary in both gender, personality, race, religion and orientation. Her stories of service, sophistication, sacrifice and education have been an inspiration and are aspirational. Highly recommend.

A truly excellent start to a magnificent series!

I have the entire series on heavy repeat in my audiobook rotation. It is by far the most well written lucid modern erotic fiction that I have had the privilege of enjoying.

Do yourself a favor and add all six to your digital and actual holdings.

Read over and over

This is my 4th full read of this series over 30 years. If you are interested in the most restrictive type of BDSM, or simply hearing about them - pick up this series.

No one conveys this hidden world better than Laura Antoniou.
