Book Description
How are the Crusades portrayed in popular culture today? Have the medieval images of chivalric and military heroes survived the eras of Orientalism and decolonization? The first of its kind, this comparative study examines representations of the Crusades in both European and Arab medieval texts and in 20th and 21st century transmedia recreations. It follows the cartography and illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages through modern, hybridized narratives in novels, film, comics and gaming. The shifting literary tastes, political agendas and cultural exchanges of audiences on both sides of the Mediterranean reflect their anxieties and ideals.

Book Description
Was he her protector? Or a predator… It was the final glimpse Erin Ramsey would have of her sister: Megan’s body, drained of blood, lying lifeless in a New York alley. Tormented by the fact that she hadn’t been there when her sister needed her, Erin promises herself that she’ll find Megan’s killer. Detective Nicholas Slade tells Erin to go home, back to California. He says he doesn’t want her to be the murderer’s next victim. But his warning comes too late. Erin is already in danger, in thrall to a man who cloaks himself in shadows and haunts her nightmares. Erin is desperate to find her sister’s murderer—and desperate to avoid becoming his prey—but she feels her own life spinning out of control as the silver-eyed specter from her dreams lures her deeper into his world. Nick may be the only one who can help her, but she’s afraid to trust him. Her deep attraction to the secretive detective is tinged with fear. He only works the night shift. He wears sunglasses in the dark. And he may have been the last person to see Megan alive… Previously published.

Not all fairytales end happily ever after. Fi is a prisoner. Briar, a monster. Shane's a warrior. And Red is a traitor.

Book Description
The stakes are higher than ever in this long-awaited finale of the Brimstone Angels series, starring tiefling heroine Farideh An epic battle of good versus evil has erupted—one that is rife with deception and intrigue, and where the question is as much who is evil, as how they can be defeated. The stakes have never been higher. The fallout will shake the Hells, and through them, the Forgotten Realms. Before Farideh took a devil's pact, before she was Chosen by the god-king of the Hells—before any of this started—there was Bryseis Kakistos, the original Brimstone Angel and the first of Farideh's line. Now in these final moments, Bryseis Kakistos is back. But this time around, she will not help the king of Hells achieve godhood—instead, she’s going to kill him. All she needs is a little help from Farideh. By all accounts, Farideh should be happy to come to Bryseis’ aid. After all, who could object to killing the king of Hells? But things are far more complicated than they seem, and Farideh may not be as willing as Bryseis thinks . . . The Devil You Know is the sixth book in the Brimstone Angels series.
