There ' s an ebook bundle with just this premise out at the moment . I haven ' t read any of these , but the premise sounds similar to what you wanted . 20161124 Welcome to the Leading Ladies Fantasy Bundle ! She says You know how it goes . There ' s one female character in the book , and she ' s someone ' s love interest . She ' s given little to do and less to wear . She has no good lines , and nothing to contribute save her helplessness . These are not those stories . This year , I wanted to champion the kind of great , riveting fantasy which doesn ' t sideline the ladies . Happily , indie fantasy has absolutely masses to offer . I ' ve assembled some of my favourite books by some of my favourite authors , every one of which offers somebody memorable , vivid and real to spend time with . In these tales of derringdo , the ladies have stepped firmly out of the background . Not every story is femaleled , though many are . In some of these books , they ' re taking centre stage and rocking it . In others , it ' s a supporting cast of women that shines .
