Book Description
Drawing from a variety of sources - literary, visual, archaeological; papyri, inscriptions and coins – the author studies the nature of Diocletian’s imperial strategy, his wars, his religious views and his abdication. The author also examines Galerius’ endeavour to take control of Diocletian’s empire, his failures and successes, against the backdrop of Constantine’s remorseless drive to power. The first comprehensive study of the Emperor Galerius, this book offers an innovative analysis of his reign as both Caesar and Augustus, using his changing relationship with Diocletian as the principal key to unlock the complex imperial politics of the period.

Book Description
Electric Literature 25 Best Novels of 2014 Largehearted Boy Favorite Novels of 2014 "An extraordinary new literary talent."--The Daily Telegraph "In part a portrait of the artist as a young woman, this deceptively modest-seeming, astonishingly inventive novel creates an extraordinary intimacy, a sensibility so alive it quietly takes over all your senses, quivering through your nerve endings, opening your eyes and heart. Youth, from unruly student years to early motherhood and a loving marriage--and then, in the book's second half, wilder and something else altogether, the fearless, half-mad imagination of youth, I might as well call it—has rarely been so freshly, charmingly, and unforgettably portrayed. Valeria Luiselli is a masterful, entirely original writer."--Francisco Goldman In Mexico City, a young mother is writing a novel of her days as a translator living in New York. In Harlem, a translator is desperate to publish the works of Gilberto Owen, an obscure Mexican poet. And in Philadelphia, Gilberto Owen recalls his friendship with Lorca, and the young woman he saw in the windows of passing trains. Valeria Luiselli's debut signals the arrival of a major international writer and an unexpected and necessary voice in contemporary fiction. "Luiselli's haunting debut novel, about a young mother living in Mexico City who writes a novel looking back on her time spent working as a translator of obscure works at a small independent press in Harlem, erodes the concrete borders of everyday life with a beautiful, melancholy contemplation of disappearance. . . . Luiselli plays with the idea of time and identity with grace and intuition." —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
In Valeria Aloe’s Uncolonized Latinas we discover that, in order to improve the world, we must first start with ourselves. This book takes us on a journey to do just that. Along the way we meet immigrant Latinas and daughters of immigrants who, through trials and tribulations, have uncolonized their limiting mindsets and have found their true selves. This book teaches us to: - Embrace our individual and collective greatness, as we honor our stories and our ancestry. - Become more aware of the limiting cultural narratives that have been running us, many times unconsciously. - Strategize in an effort to better support a career or business, learning from those Latinas who figured out how to navigate the system. - Feel motivated, as a Latina, to take action to thrive in a career and life from a place of self-love and self-esteem. As an ally, feel more confident and become more effective when leading and mentoring diverse talent. Through this journey we can learn how to experience transformational change—open our heart, mind, and eyes.

Seducing the Sun Fae is a steamy standalone romance with an HEA that begins the Fada Shapeshifter Series. If you crave dark shifters, glittering fae and emotionally charged storylines, this series is for you! Keep reading for an excerpt. THE FADA Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's legendary bacchanals from a combination of fae, human, and animal genes. They’re dark, ruthless, untamed—but when they love, it's forever. *Best Shapeshifter Series, Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer's Choice Awards* All of the Fada Shapeshifter stories are standalone with a happily ever after, but the people, clans and stories interconnect. EXCERPT: Cleia sighed and suddenly Dion understood what was wrong. She didn’t want harmless. She wanted danger. The lady was bored with men who danced to her tune. Ah. He’d be happy to provide the queen with a little…excitement. He crouched on his haunches in front of her and put out his hand. “Give me your foot.” She hesitated and he waited, unmoving. In this dance, she would learn that he was the leader, she the follower. She slanted him a look from under her lashes and then, setting her wine on the floor, placed a slender foot in his palm. It was clad in a jewel-encrusted sandal: rubies, emeralds, diamonds. The fae loved bright, glittering things. It was yet another weakness, something he could use against the shallow, party-girl queen. Right now she wasn’t thinking about jewels, though. Her gaze was all for him. Her hands clenched on her lap, but she held herself still, waiting to see what he’d do next. Keeping his eyes on hers, he undid the sandal strap and slid his finger under her arch, tracing a slow path down the sensitive skin. Her breath hitched. He removed the sandal and pressed a kiss to her instep, then placed her foot on the chair seat so that her knee was bent, opening her to him. “Keep it there.” Her throat worked but she obeyed. He removed the other sandal and kissed that instep as well. Her breath released in an audible whoosh. His lips curved against her soft skin. “You like that.” Their eyes met and he inhaled sharply. Deus, her irises were beautiful: a tawny, sun-touched brown. “Mm,” she murmured. “More.” Their gazes locked, but when he simply stared at her unmoving, she added, “Please.” Triumph streaked through him. He’d won. She just didn’t know it yet. “As you wish, querida..." *2016 EPIC Awards Finalist, Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance* KEYWORDS: shifter, alpha male, fae queen, fated mates, mate bond, happily ever after, alpha male romance book, alpha male romance ebook, alpha shapeshifter romance, alpha shifter fated mates, rebecca rivard mates, fated mates paranormal romance, shifter fae romance book, shifter fae romance series, strangers to lovers, instant attraction, heat level, fated mates novel, soul mates, destined mates, shifter romance ebook, paranormal fiction series, strong heroine, fae romance novel, fae queen romance novel, shifter mates, fated mates, enemies to lovers romance, enemies to lovers paranormal romance book, sexy shifter book, sexy paranormal romance book, steamy paranormal romance novel, steamy shifter mates, shapeshifter clan romance series, urban fantasy, sexy urban fantasy, fantasy romance, sexy fantasy romance, unusual shapeshifters, band of brothers series, Latino hero paranormal romance, Latino hero romance, treacherous fae encounters, captivating world-building, romantic suspense, intense chemistry between characters, HEA (happily ever after), everlasting love and bonds, abduction/seduction, riveting paranormal romance series

Book Description
Dark and stern, in their weird beauty, lower the sad brows of the Queen of Hell. Dear to her are the pomp and power, the shadowy vastness, and the terrible splendour of the nether world. Dear to her the pride of her unbending consort; and doubly dear the wide imperial sway, that rules the immortal destinies of souls. But dearer far than these-dearer than flashing crown and fiery sceptre, and throne of blazing gold-are the memories that glimmer bright as sunbeams athwart those vistas of gloomy grandeur, and seem to fan her weary spirit like a fresh breeze from the realms of upper earth. She has not forgotten, she never can forget, the dewy flowers, the blooming fragrance of lavish Sicily, nor the sparkling sea, and the summer haze, and the golden harvests that wave and whisper in the garden and granary of the world. Then a sad smile steals over the haughty face; the stern beauty softens in the gleam, and, for a while, the daughter of Ceres is a laughing girl once more.

Black panther shifter Jace Jones lost nearly his entire family in the clan war known as the Darktime. Scarred by the deaths, Jace pours his soul into rebuilding the clan. The only person who has a claim on his heart is his niece, until an attack by a fae assassin leaves him dying on a human's doorstep. Nursing student Evie Morningstar is doing her best to raise her teenage brother on a waitress's pay. She has no time for men until the night she finds Jace bleeding out in her backyard. After she saves the troubled shifter's life, the two take the first steps toward a happily ever after. But an assassin is still after Jace, and now Evie is a target, too… Can Jace protect the woman who ignites his beast's deepest desires? "Primally exciting, sexy and downright fun, Saving Jace is an absolute winner!" ~InD'Tale Magazine *BEST SHIFTER NOVEL of 2018 ~ Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer's Choice Awards* NOTE: Saving Jace is the start of the Darktime Trilogy featuring the Baltimore Earth Fada Clan. All books in the Fada Shapeshifter Series are standalone with an HEA, but the stories and people interconnect. If you crave dark shifters, treacherous fae and intense emotional storylines, this book is for you. EXCERPT: Someone was watching her. Evie gripped her keys and glanced around. Across the alley, a pair of luminous green eyes stared at her from the shadows. Her heart kicked into a gallop. "Jace? Is that you?" Please let it be him. He stepped out of the shadows. She blew out a breath. It was Jace. He crossed the alley in a few long, loose strides. An atavistic tremor went down her spine. This was the real Jace—and he was nothing like the injured, feverish victim of last week. No, this man was dark. Powerful. Raw-boned. A panther in a T-shirt and jeans. She squared her shoulders and lifted her chin, because damn it, she'd saved the man's life. She refused to let him spook her. He stopped a few feet away. "Hello, Evie." He was bigger than she remembered, but then, last week he'd been hunched over nursing his injuries. Now she realized he was a good half foot taller than her with the lean, hard build of a soldier. Another shiver went down her spine—but this one had nothing to do with fear. THE FADA. Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals. They're dark, ruthless, untamed...and when they love, it's forever.
