Princess-in-exile, Aja Bokinan, is the Thousand Year Empress. While her family has remained in forced isolation for nearly thirty years, women throughout the empire have been banned from public life. Females have no legal standing and they have become little better than property. The restoration of the monarchy is their only hope. Revolution threatens the male dominated Coalition. Resistance forces expect the Princess to be the salvation of the empire. The ruling generals fear she will be its destruction.
Kyr Aram, is a smuggler and secret Resistance sympathizer. He must find a way to protect the Princess from both the general who plans her assassination and a traitor on his own ship who wishes to see her dead. Kyr believes she is no more than valuable cargo. With the Thousand Year Empress, he gets more than he bargained for.
The Lady Ennat, has been sent by her mother to Resistance Commander, Karna Aram for protection. She is a Blood decoy. Her role is to protect her sister Aja, the Thousand Year Empress. She must draw the bulk of the Coalition forces away from the Resistance fighters. From the beginning she’s known she may not live to see tomorrow, yet despite her misgivings she finds herself drawn to Commander Aram.
Karna Aram wanted the woman from the moment she set foot on his supply depot, but nobody touches a Princess of the Blood. He resists his bone deep desire until Ennat challenges him to pick up a sword and spar with her. All bets are off. Karna has a different kind of sword play in mind.
When the Ennat and her sister, Aja, are reunited, they know the Coalition is coming after them. They must risk all to save their devoted fighters and the men they love.
A thousand years have passed since the Empress Aja Bokinan and her consort Kyr Aram settled on Calen. As the legend foretold, a great evil has arisen. Black Frocks scour the planets, searching out women, children and even men with a trace of the Royal Blood, sacrificing them to their dark god.
When they see her mahogany hair and gray eyes, Issa Bokinan’s family flees the village for the safety of the mountains, but even that is not far enough. It is up to The Red Demon, Tem, to hide the young Empress away in the past, teaching her to use her powers, grooming her for the day when she will face the Black Frocks and her own death.
But the Red Demon has a plan within a plan. She’s meddled in the gene pool, producing a man with powers Women of the Blood only dream of. She wants Kane Tirol for her own, but Kane, a Calen man, wants nothing to do with the Red Demon. He is bonded to Issa Bokinan, and not even time can keep them apart.
There is a reason Tem is called the Red Demon. She does what she wants when she wants. No one controls her. Time and space do not hinder her. Worshipped on ancient Earth as a goddess among many people in many different lands, nobody opposes her, except her creations, Issa Bokinan and Kane Tirol.
Having left her own daughters behind on Earth as seed stock for future generations, Tem had hoped to make a life with Kane. That is not to be. Rejected, alone and broken, she seeks comfort in the past with the Empress Ya, on Persephone, promising to behave and keep her identity a secret. Tem is hard pressed to control her worst impulses when she’s caught riding the Empress’ prize stallion.
Horse Master, Aytan Kirrae, cannot believe his eyes. A small Red Woman has just ridden off on the stallion named for him, a horse bred for the Empress Ya. He waits for her return, flipping her over his knee, meting out what he thinks will be a kinder punishment than she would receive from the Magistrate. He has no idea the small Red Woman can kill him with a single drop of her blood.
Pulled along to the future against his will, Aytan thinks he’s dreaming, until he must share the Blood Bond with Tem to save her life. Once he does, his own life will never be the same.
The Daughters of Persephone Boxed Set A Space Opera eBook Julia Barrett
As another reader said, a Harlequin Space Opera. The story line was interesting which is why I finished reading it, even over the multiple 'mushy' interludes. I did like the concepts portrayed in the story. The book minimizes the Science Fiction with more of a very light science fantasy. We deal with some mystical powers developed eugenically over centuries to create a result. Then they deal with the backlash.I followed the first three novellas in the book with no real issue but was tired of the whole thing by the time we got to the 4th daughter. It's not a book I'd read again but was I believe worth one look for the concept.
Now, if you like a bit of steam in your sci-fi, then this might float your boat. It's not overly graphic but enough to stir the imagination.

The Daughters of Persephone Boxed Set A Space Opera eBook Julia Barrett Reviews
I found this to be a great read. Very enjoyable. A little tricky to follow some of the time jumps but a quick skim of where you last left off before you put the story down fix that most times.
Not bad reads, I just personally didn't find them at all interesting, but I'm a very picky reader, you may have a different opinion on them.
This is a well-written fun ride through a neatly crafted believable universe. Definitely something here for the ladies, a bit racy. Altogether well done and a fun read for anyone looking to escape into a world of power-hungry men and equally powerful women.
I liked it well enough to read all four stories, but overall a forgettable romp. Four nice stories that are pleasant reads, but will I remember that I read them a year from now? - probably not. The author was aiming for a space opera sci-fi romance and succeeded at the level of day-to-day soap opera, not Star Wars space opera. Got it for free and I do not regret the time I used to read it.
I could've kept reading.
it wasn't fast but wasn't slow.
was a very enjoyable book, a good mix of fantasy/ sci fi and just enough romance.
not over run with descriptions but enough for a understandable history
LOVED IT and going st see what else author has
This space opera took me by surprise. Its unique basis outshines the average sci fi tale while making up for the rushed characterizations. The family focus is interesting but the romances could have used more development and felt a bit fake. A 3 star effort
I love sci-fi and I love romance novels, so this was a great 4-parter. I enjoyed the characters' overlap throughout the books and although the sex scenes weren't as graphic as your run of the mill erotica, the sexual tension was funny and packed throughout the books. I read the series in about 2 days and I gladly recommend it if you like romantic thrillers and enjoy futuristic/time-travel themes.
