After forging a deal, the only path forward is the one for which you bargained; ensure it is what you genuinely wish it to be, because not even death will release you. Drucilla Blackwood is an unassuming, average woman who stumbles upon a unique and Divine relic. A relic that will immutably change her life and subsequently all the souls of those around her. She develops unlikely friendships among those considered Divine and Unholy—angels, devils, and those who reside in between. Drucilla learns that the ones who support her are the only ones she can depend on to be there for her when the world explodes...and it will explode spectacularly. The Space Between The Divine and The Unholy is the first volume in a series of celestial urban fantasy novels by author Michelle Morningstar.
Often thought of as the quintessential home or the Eden from which humanity has fallen, the natural world has long been a popular object of nostalgic narratives. In Reclaiming Nostalgia, Jennifer Ladino assesses the ideological effects of this phenomenon by tracing its dominant forms in American literature and culture since the closing of the frontier in 1890. While referencing nostalgia for pastoral communities and for untamed and often violent frontiers, she also highlights the ways in which nostalgia for nature has served as a mechanism for social change, a model for ethical relationships, and a motivating force for social and environmental justice.

Although much has been written about American feminism and its influence on culture and society, very little has been recorded about the key role played by Irish American women writers in exposing women’s issues, protecting their rights, and anticipating, if not effecting, change. Like the mythical Irish banshee who delivered fore-warnings of imminent death, Irish American women, through their writing, have repeatedly warned of the death of women’s rights. These messages carried the greatest potency at liminal times when feminism was under attack due to the politics of civil society, the government, or the church. The Banshees traces the feminist contributions of a wide range of Irish Am...
From virtue to venality examines the problem of corruption in British urban society and politics between 1930 and 1995. It is not a conventional study of the politics of local government since it seeks to place corruption in urban societies in a wider cultural context. The accounts of corruption in Glasgow - a British Chicago - as well as the major corruption scandals of John Poulson and T. Dan Smith show how Labour-controlled towns and cities were especially vulnerable to corrupt dealings. By contrast the case of Dame Shirley Porter in the City of Westminster in the late 1980s reveals that Conservative-controlled councils were also vulnerable since in London the stakes of the political struggle were especially intense. This book will be of special interest to students of history and politics and those who are concerned about the growth of corruption in British political culture.

Azrael, the Angel of Death, has portents of a dire future. Drake holds power over the infernal sphere with omnipotence.
