A Measure of Knowledge
Demons have invaded the capital of Jing and killed the emperor and his sons. That leaves Ambassador Quan Po as the only surviving blood member of the imperial family. Knowing he has more enemies than just the demons, the last heir asks Chief Justice Anthea and High Brother Luc to accompany him home. Can Anthea and Luc keep Quan alive long enough to take the throne of Jing? Or will they become sacrificial pawns in the political games between their nations? Magic and mayhem have never been this bureaucratic. Or this malignant.
Queer and Feminist Relationships in Contemporary Fiction
Relationships play a crucial role in feminist and queer fictions of the 21st century, whether we think of the connection among the artists and between them and their audience or the interaction of the characters or different modes of writing. The contributors to this volume analyze and map these friendly, amorous, sexual, political and artistic contacts within and around contemporary fictions of Romance cultures. They show how these works question, challenge and rethink circulating concepts of relationships and implement them aesthetically. This volume integrates contributions from feminist, queer and decolonial studies just as sociology of art.

A Hint of Thief
The Mars Tranquilus finally arrives in Jing, but Chief Justice Anthea and High Brother Luc find their problems are only beginning. A handful of Crown Prince Bao Quan Po’s cousins each make their own play for the dragon throne. The former imperial consort plots revenge on his stepson from prison. And then there’s the odd Skoloti woman who shows up every time there’s an attempt on Quan’s life. Is she an ally? Or does she plan to collect the Assassins Guild’s bounties on Anthea and Shi Hua? And what’s her connection to Reverend Father Chen and his missing army? Magic and mayhem have never been this suspicious. Or this lethal.
A Touch of Mother
After the destruction of the demon army in Tandor, Anthea could use the relative simplicity of her position as chief justice of Orrin. However, one of the city’s street children is found dead a few weeks after Anthea’s return. Her squire Nathan is adamant his friend’s death is murder. And High Mother Bianca, who is responsible for feeding, clothing, and sheltering the orphans, doesn’t seem to care about the death of one of her wards. Does Bianca know more than she’s telling? Or is something worse than a demon stalking the streets of Orrin? Magic and mayhem have never been this despicable. Or this tragic.
