In "Bootboy's Baptism of Fire," Bootboy stands accused of disrespecting Commander Lenore and defying her orders. He must defend himself before an unforgiving judge and nine pitiless, black-robed counselors, or face being banished from House Anais. Why has Commander Lenore forsaken him? In a matriarchy like Ortheria, none will believe the word of a lowly male slave. Without his commander to serve, Bootboy's life will lose all meaning and purpose.

When Bootboy and his commander are invited to "Commander Lenore's Banquet," they are attacked on the road and barely escape with their lives. Bootboy's strength and endurance are tested like never before in the labyrinth beneath House Octavia. Under the threat of torment and death, he can only pray to the Great Mother that he will kneel before Commander Lenore again. But first, he must survive a night alone in the caves...

Bootboy is Commander Lenore's devoted slave-serving at her feet, polishing her boots till they gleam, and protecting her with his life. Whether brandishing a sword in her service or satisfying her voracious carnal appetites, Bootboy's allegiance is always to his commander. When the sultry Lieutenant Sierra arrives on the scene, he must serve his female superiors on his knees while they make passionate love, laugh at his expense, and use him in the most intimate ways imaginable. What more could a humble slave ask for?

Frivolity soon turns to terror when they are confronted by dark forces beyond their understanding. With the matriarchy in the grip of a terrible plague, Commander Lenore, Lieutenant Sierra, and Bootboy are called upon to vanquish a malevolent force deep in the heart of Ravenwood. Caught between two opposing forces, Bootboy is buffeted about like a rag doll in the wind. Only his courage, loyalty, and devotion can prevent the destruction of everything he loves. "Curse of the Spider Queen," the third book of The Bootboy Chronicles, will take you to a dark world where monsters live, magic exists, women rule, and slavery is a badge of honor.
