Ambition drives her. Danger thrills her. But magic always has a price. Twenty years have passed since the Darkmage was defeated and the war between mages ended. But for Lira Astor, apprentice mage and the only living heir to the Darkmage, escaping his legacy is impossible. People still fear what is long dead, and the Mage Council sees in her the rise of another dangerous mage with deadly ambition. Yet when Lira is abducted and held prisoner in a deadly game of cat and mouse, her powerful legacy is no match for the adversary she now faces … a mysterious rebel group with weapons beyond the Mage Council’s understanding. To survive, she will be forced to band together with unlikely allies who challenge everything she believes about what it means to be a mage. The war may only just be beginning. And Lira Astor will have to embrace everything her dark legacy has gifted her to win.

Book Description
Survival is the frank and the opinionated story of a man behind this struggle in life. Famously humble about his experiences straight on all events that took place in his life thus giving us a unique view of life, tragedies and glory. From humble beginnings in Uganda, Robeson has overcome the odds to become an accomplished scholar in his own right. His determination for success and willingness to to confront hardships head-on has been the stepping stone to his arduous journey into the unknown and unchartered territory. Love him or hate him, he has proved in many fronts that, 'where there is a will, there is a way'. He has proved that it is the experiences you have in life that makes you what you are., and not things that are given to you. Every single event in his life was a difficult and that changed his character as a person profusely and these are circumstances we view in life as bad luck. During the difficult times, he found the strength to carry on - to move forward and make something good come out of a bad situation.

Book Description
Honor related violence is generally associated with crimes committed by people from the Middle East and adjacent areas. Perpetrators sometimes justify their deeds saying they ‘had to’ restore their honor. Theorists have argued that men from these populations exclusively correlate honor with the behaviour of their womenfolk, which they use as a pretext to further oppress and dominate women. Due to large-scale migration, western societies have become acquainted with honor related violence and honor killings. In this book, Robert Ermers addresses a number of questions related to honor related violence, including the use of predominantly negative frames regarding the cultural and social background of non-westerners and immigrants. In many publications, including the press, crimes committed by non-western individuals are often attributed to their cultural background rather than specific contexts or circumstances, in contrast to western cases. Vague and insufficiently defined concepts such as ‘honor’ and ‘culture’ strongly contribute to this bias. Honor Related Violence deals with honor and honor related violence, their background and contexts, what honor is, and what it is not. It examines stigma in relation to honor and based upon stigma research, reliably explains, analyses, and predicts honor related violence. The book argues that people all over the world can be stigmatized, excluded and ostracized when they commit misbehavior, and therefore find themselves in a state of dishonor which can lead to honor related violence. A timely intervention into the psychology of honor related violence, this is an essential resource for students and researchers in the fields of social psychology, sociology, law, criminology and anthropology.
