It represented Vidar, the old Norse silent god of vengeance. His eyes were blind to his warships, however, and all he truly saw was the stone plinth behind him, reflected in the glass.Ī statue of a burly Viking warrior, the symbol of his company, stood on top of that plinth. Right now, however, he stood in a small gallery in the Vikings’ home office in the Io Shipyards and looked out over his fleet. The tall and gaunt mercenary had the money to afford those ships and those crews, and that gave him a power few in the solar system could rival. He owned and commanded a fleet of six destroyers, staffed by over five hundred crew and ground troops. He was the sole owner of the Vikings Mercenary Company, a Platinum-rated Guild company sought after for their reputation and firepower. He was young, barely into his mid-thirties, wealthy and powerful. At a glance, there was no reason for him to be so tired. There was a feeling of exhaustion, of bone-deep weariness no amount of rest could shake, that hung over Commodore Brad Madrid. I wasn’t impressed with her infatuation with Rowan Gerling. And Jules is immediately a likeable character since what she wants most is to save the person dearest to her, at any cost to herself. This premise set up some interesting stakes straight from the opening of the story. I love the concept of the story-the idea that time and blood are connected and you have the choice (or are pressed to) spend from your allotted lifespan to purchase things. Her decisions have the power to change her fate-and the fate of time itself. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.īut going back to Everless brings more danger-and temptation-than Jules could have ever imagined. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries. In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency-extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan.

Cushla Lavery is 24 and works as a primary teacher in a school on the outskirts of Belfast. Plotwise, then, we’re in traditional territory. In this case an attractive married lawyer who’s committed to civil rights for Catholics.” “Do things go tragically wrong for sectarian reasons?” “It is strongly intimated that this is what will happen, yes.” Her dad is dead when the book begins.” “Does she fall in love with a Protestant?” “Well, yes, she does fall in love with a Protestant, as it happens. It’s easy to imagine a conversation about Louise Kennedy’s debut novel, Trespasses, that goes something like this: “What’s it about?” “Well, it’s about a young Catholic woman in Belfast in the 70s, at the height of the Troubles.” “Punishment beatings, bomb scares, all of that?” “Yes, all of that.” “Does her dad die?” “Well, yes, actually. During the First Crusade, which lasted from 1095 to 1099, European Christian armies defeated Jerusalem and established the Crusader States. "The problem is that this numbering system is not comprehensive and nor was it used by contemporaries. "Historians are generally pretty consistent in numbering five of the largest crusading campaigns to the Eastern Mediterranean, using terms such as 'First Crusade', 'Second Crusade,' etc," Morton wrote. Several Crusades took place between the 11th and 13th centuries, but the precise number is still debated among historians. (Image credit: Public Domain / Bibliothèque nationale de France) How many crusades were there? The Council of Clermont in 1085 is considered to have launched the Crusades, when Pope Urban II gave a speech calling for the reconquest of the Holy Land. Only Eva holds the answer-but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?Īs a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris after the arrest of her father, a Polish Jew. Now housed in Berlin’s Zentral-und Landesbibliothek library, it appears to contain some sort of code.īut researchers don’t know where it came from-or what the code means. The book in the photograph, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war, is one of the most fascinating cases. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II-an experience Eva remembers well-and the search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. She freezes it’s an image of a book she hasn’t seen in sixty-five years-a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. Inspired by an astonishing true story from World War II, a young woman with a talent for forgery helps hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis in this unforgettable historical novel.Įva Traube Abrams, a semi-retired librarian in Florida, is shelving books one morning when her eyes lock on a photograph in a magazine lying open nearby. Performing Celebrity publishes single-authored monographs and essay collections that explore the dynamics of fame, infamy, and technologies of image-making from the early modern period to the present day.

The organization of the collection allows for new readings of the similarities and differences in the understanding of celebrity in Britain and France.

With contributions from a diverse range of scholarly cultures, the volume has a firmly interdisciplinary scope over the time period 1750 to 1850, which was an era marked by social, political, and cultural upheaval. It offers a transnational perspective by placing in dialogue the growing fields of celebrity studies in the two countries, especially by engaging with Antoine Lilti’s seminal work, The Invention of Celebrity, translated into English in 2017. Celebrity Across the Channel, 1750-1850 is the first book to study and compare the concept of celebrity in France and Britain from 1750 to 1850 as the two countries transformed into the states we recognize today.
