The Fangs of K'aath is a furry novel series written by Paul Kidd and is one of the most hailed books of its specific genre.The series takes place in the metropolitan Islamic kingdom of Osra where a young bat named Sandhri lives a marginal living as a street storyteller after her homelands and family were destroyed by the Shah's forces.She meets and falls in love with the bookish scholar Raschid and has several adventures with him in the capital city of Sath. Later to her outrage, he turns out to be Prince Raschid Al Dinaq, second son to the Shah himself, and she rejects him. Despite secret forces determined to keep them apart, Sandhri later forgives the heartbroken Prince and, with a little help of Itbit the clever mouse harem servant girl, finagles her way into the royal court to become his concubine although the Shah refuses to allow them to marry. Meanwhile, a mouse slave dancer named Yarïm struggles to keep her virtue in the royal harem even as the Prince and storyteller hope to help her.However, the Prince is assigned to deal with nomadic raiders in the desert and Sandhri insists on accompanying him, expertly helping him organize the expedition to that end. On that excursion is danger and betrayal as the heroes find enemies and friends they never expected and return in well earned triumph. However, Sandhri, Raschid and Yarïm unlocked the final puzzle for a far more diabolical scheme that holds the world the balance.The second book is Guardians of Light with the heroes now undisputed rulers of the reformed Osra, as a softspoken buddist Panda scholar, Tsau-yi Meng, comes to find himself joining the court. Together, Raschid's court is put to the ultimate test as a sinister warlord named Tsu-Khan threatens the land and Osra must rise to meet this challenge.The books are now primarily available as Kindle books at Amazon (Original, and ''Guardians of Light''). There is also a shortlived comics adaptation and with an erotic one-shot adaptation of one of Sandhri's racier stories, called Princess Karanam and the Djinn of the Green Jug, both published by MU Press. | |

A Taste of the Lash: Abbas inflicts this on Yarim, and attempts to do the same to Sandhri when she gets in his way before Raschid intervenes. | |

Slave Liberation | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_15d8e4f5 | comment |
Slave Liberation: Raschid buys a small army’s worth of slaves, arms them with match-lock muskets, and promises to free them after just a couple years if they fight for him. After they help him win the succession he frees all slaves in Osra. | |

| The Fangs of K'aath / int_18ce8f1d | comment |
Full-Frontal Assault: Justified when Raschid and Sandhri fight off a group of assassins while completely naked, since they were attacked while in bed just after an abortive attempt at lovemaking. During the same attack, Abduhl is butt-naked for... some reason while he's killing three assassins. The Darb Haasi tribe fight their battles in the nude. | |

The Sociopath | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Abbas is incapable of caring about anyone but himself, or indeed any emotions other than lust, rage and spite. He can be superficially charming, as he was able to manipulate Sarwah to love him, but makes no secret of the fact that he doesn't love him or anyone else, to the point of openly having sex with slave girls while Sarwah is in the room and gloating to him about the encounters. He discards everyone close to him, no matter how loyal, the second he can get what he wants some other way. All he thinks about is his own gratification, which usually takes the form of brutalising women, and finds absolutely no value in the lives of others, to the point of not understanding Raschid's desire to find a solution to the nomad problem that doesn't involve death. Shah Marwan seems to be a lower-functioning example: he openly admits to not caring if his son Raschid lives or dies and to viewing everyone else as disposable pawns, switches which of his two sons he favours purely on whims, cares about nothing other than enjoying and maintaining his wealth and privilege and is unable to understand the concept of dealing with opposition in ways other than violence, to the point of committing genocide because his nobles want more land. He can also be surprisingly manipulative, as shown when he orchestrates the deaths of Caid and Amedh. | |

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_28b2f93a | comment |
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: While Osranii society as a whole has no problem with slavery, Raschid does not share their view. When he discovers that the Hammani are practicing an underground slave trade, he sidelines the campaign against the nomads to overthrow them and liberate all those held in the Hammani slave camps. When he becomes Shah he outlaws slavery throughout Osra. | |

Potty Emergency | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_2cc5703c | comment |
Potty Emergency: As if Raschid didn't have enough trouble dodging the amorous and sexy Harem Matron coming on to him, he also has to drain his bladder at that moment and privies seemed utterly inaccessible. Furthermore, he may be a modest prince, but he has enough pride that draining out a window for potentially anyone to see is out of the question for him. Eventually he does find an appropriate facility and afterwards savors the vivid reminder that the simple pleasures are the best as he enjoys the euphoria of revealing his problem. | |

Succession Crisis: Abbas is the shah's first-born son but his mother is only second wife, while Raschid is the first wife's son, both have claims and multiple factions backing them, most of them aren't above assassination. Once the shah dies it's mere hours before Raschid is the last member of the royal family left alive. | |

Depraved Bisexual: Abbas, who brutalizes harem girls and sleeps with the captain of the guard. And Fatima and a few of the other girls in the upper ranks of the harem. On the other hand, most of the harem girls and Sandhri and Yarïm are bisexual but not depraved. | |

Fat Bastard: Emir Caid is noted to be overweight and is also a traitor, a slave-trader and probably an embezzler. Shah Marwan ordered the massacre of the hill tribes in order to seize their land and give it to his nobles. He is also morbidly obese, a lifetime of immense feasts and little exercise having taken its toll. | |

Forgot I Could Change the Rules | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_6678a036 | comment |
Forgot I Could Change the Rules: Justified early in the story with Raschid pondering all the reforms he could do by arbitrary fiat if he were Shah and then ruefully reminding himself that he would be assassinated by the nobility and/or the bureaucracy within a day if he tried. Conveniently, they all get killed off in the succession crisis so nobody stops him when he does become Shah. The fact that this would bankrupt the country if done overnight as he does is casually brushed aside. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Emir Caïd became one when he was killed by a shifter while trying to flee the consequences of his failed assassination attempt. Shah Marwan's death, while bad for the heroes, was almost certainly unmourned by readers given that he ordered the destruction of the bat tribes and knowingly risked Raschid's life to flush out Caïd and Amedh. After everything he did, nobody mourned Abbas's death. | |

Justified when Raschid and Sandhri fight off a group of assassins while completely naked, since they were attacked while in bed just after an abortive attempt at lovemaking. | |

Karmic Death | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Abbas's attempts to gain the power of a Shifter cause him to get permanently turned into one and then killed by Sandhri, the sole survivor of his genocidal campaign against the bats. | |

| The Fangs of K'aath / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Abbas tries to gain the power of a shifter, but is betrayed by the K'aath cult and turned into a mindless beast with no way of turning back. His mindless rage drives him to attack Sandhri, who kills him with a knife through the eye. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Abbas suffers one over Yarïm's refusal to break, being reduced to ranting about how she must submit before attempting to flog Sandhri when she gets in his way despite this being a serious offence, too lost in his rage to care. | |

Final Solution: In backstory, the Osranii royal troops, led by Abbas, wiped out the bat tribes in the hills because they were living on land the Shah wanted for his nobles (and for being Christians). | |

Blood Knight: Abduhl greatly enjoys fighting off an attack by assassins, laughing all the while as he kills them. Amedh ibn Ïkr, who takes a perverse joy in ransacking an enemy city to the point of murdering a messenger from Raschid just so he can carry on the slaughter for as long as possible. | |

Sorcerous Overlord: Tsu-Khan, the Necromancer type. Sandhri's tales claim that thousands of years ago four sorcerors from Earth came to their world when Earth lost its magic and conquered it. Three were killed in the inevitable revolt; the fourth became the Tsu-Khan. | |

| The Fangs of K'aath / int_c9790040 | comment |
Decadent Court: Accommodation and genocide are equally valid tactics for its policies. The twist is that even the good guys of the story, Raschid and Sandhri, even while repelled by its brutalities, will readily admit that the court is a fun place be in when it is in a peaceful mood. | |

Creation Myth | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_d250df04 | comment |
Creation Myth: Most believe in the story presented in Genesis, though in the first book Sandhri reveals a different story passed down orally by storytellers. After Adam and Eve were banished and made lords of the world the bats who remained in Eden thought they should eat the Fruit as well and convinced many other beasts to do the same. God banished the beasts who ate the Fruit to an Alternate Universe formerly populated by demons (which he destroyed, except for K'aath) and took the bats' wings. | |

Gambit Pileup | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_de9047ac | comment |
Gambit Pileup: The climax of the first book comes about when the K'aath cult assassinate the Shah, abduct Sandhri so she can be possessed by K'aath and turn Abbas into a Shifter so everything will be blamed on him. The Grand Mullah then takes the opportunity to accuse Sandhri and Yarïm of the Shah's murder and stage a Putsch. This leads to both faction's plans being scuppered. | |

Hate Sink: Abbas, a sadistic, genocidal, raping psychopath and utter Jerkass, is deliberately written to be as hateful as possible, to the point that the reader is likely to agree with Sandhri that he should be given "a gunpowder enema". | |

Would Hit a Girl: Abbas definitely would; for him, sex is not complete without a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, and resisting gets you flogged half to death. Sarwah as well, since he savagely beat one of the harem girls for being raped by Abbas and slaps Yarim for mocking him. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
| The Fangs of K'aath / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: In the end of the first book, Raschid simultaneously bans slavery nationwide, decides to nationalize the army, frees all slaves, intimidates a neighboring state and gears up for war with a rival state not for any economic reasons but simply moral indignation. All while the country is just recovering from a devastating putsch/civil war. In reality, this would almost certainly have caused the economy to collapse like a house of cards, especially in a state as large as this one. | |
