@Homerealm:  The depicted level of gaslighting and brainwashing in this book is a bit on easy mode - the women whom Abrogail is trying to select reading material for, not just herself, usually don't have targets this stupid enjoy a back-and-forth of conflict between an equal and her near-equal who has to be conquered with wits, with ambition... does Homerealm possibly not have something called pain?  It's very important to the way Abrogail herself looks at sex - her first sexual experience was a very painful one, and that shaped her, and Abrogail would never have had that go any other way.

The science parts are great, though, and Abrogail would treasure this book for that alone.  (It advances Cheliax's timeline on conquering the rest of Golarion by, Abrogail estimates, another year.)

Here in return is a Chelish romance novel (hastily censored to remove some of the more blatantly things that might alarm a less Evil world) about a female slave successfully brainwashing her own owner, given no more initial vulnerability than her owner's tolerance of her providing him with a little less pleasure, a little more pleasure, according to her own whims!  She provides him with subtle feedback and maneuvers him into showing her a slight taste towards physical masochism, which she heartily indulges and reinforces with more eager sex, and works that up to his showing a taste for play-submission, with play sessions that extend for longer and longer.  At the end of the story, he tries to tell her that playtime is over, and she orders his own former servants to beat him severely for his impudence; one servant objects and is slain by the others, whom she has offered slightly nicer treatment than their last owner did.

This is what it looks like when the protagonist faces a position of serious challenge!
