Book Description
A silver-fox general. A fiery, little ex-spy. A chase so enticing, he can’t resist. General Thorec is beginning to believe he will never find his mate. He’d thought that by the time silver appeared in his hair, he’d have a family and a woman who would be the sunshine in his monotonous day. One day, when he finds a fiery, young female trespassing in his territory, he is stunned by her bold audacity. Unfazed by his size and overbearing demands, she refuses to leave, and glares at him with a beautiful malice he enjoys too much to ignore. Thorec throws her over his shoulder, intent on keeping her. But Ria proves more of a challenge than he anticipated. The stormy harmony between them burns brighter than either of them are prepared for. And though Ria may try to escape it, Thorec will not allow their profound connection to be denied. CANDESCENT is a novella-length, fantasy dark romance that delves into the depths of dark, consuming love. This story is set in Zoey Ellis’ Myth of Omega world but is a standalone story with a HEA.

Deconstructing Europe
Author: Sandra Ponzanesi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131799518X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
This book engages with the question of what makes Europe postcolonial and how memory, whiteness and religion figure in representations and manifestations of European ‘identity’ and self-perception. To deconstruct Europe is necessary as its definition is now contested more than ever, both internally (through the proliferation of ethnic, religious, regional differences) and externally (Europe expanding its boundaries but closing its borders). This edited volume explores a number of theoretical discussions on the meaning of Europe and proposes analyzing some of the deeds committed, both today and in the past, in the name of Europe by foregrounding a postcolonial approach. To deconstruct Europe as a postcolonial place does not imply that Europe’s imperial past is over, but on the contrary that Europe’s idea of self, and of its polity, is still struggling with the continuing hold of colonialist and imperialist attitudes. The objective of this volume is to account for historical legacies which have been denied, forgotten or silenced, such as the histories of minor and peripheral colonialisms (Nordic colonialisms or Austrian, Spanish and Italian colonialism) and to account for the realities of geographical margins within Europe, such as the Mediterranean and the Eastern border while tracing alternative models for solidarity and conviviality. The chapters deal with social and political formations as well as cultural and artistic practices drawing from different disciplinary backgrounds and methodological traditions. As such it creates an innovative space for comparative and cross-disciplinary exchanges. This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal Social Identities.

Book Description
An updated introduction to the religions developed in the Caribbean region Creole Religions of the Caribbean offers a comprehensive introduction to the overlapping religions that have developed as a result of the creolization process.

The third edition also expands the regional considerations of the diaspora to the US Latinx communities that are influenced by Creole spiritual practices, taking into account the increased significance of material culture?art, music, literature, and healing practices influenced by Creole religions.
