This volume collects three works by American novelist, poet and playwright Amélie Louise Rives (1863–1945).
It includes the novel The Quick or the Dead?, her most famous and popular work, which sold 300,000 copies. The work depicted the erotic passions of a newly widowed woman and earned Rives notoriety.
In 1896, just four months after their divorce, she married Prince Pierre Troubetzkoy, an artist and aristocrat, after Oscar Wilde introduced them in London, and she began using her title of Princess.
The other works in this volume are SHADOWS OF FLAMES, a novel; and A BROTHER TO DRAGONS & OTHER OLD-TIME TALES, a collection of three short stories.
