Dawn and Devilry is the third book in the Lexie Carrigan Chronicles, and follows Gavon's story in two parts. In Part I, eighteen-year-old Gavon McKinnon has lived his entire life in the shadow of his fellow Warrior, Cyrus. Even his own mother, the formidable Guildmaster Alexandra, treats him like the spare he is. Until one day, Gavon makes a tear between the only world he's ever known and a brand new one--and finds himself in 1989 Salem where he comes across a very pretty, and very reckless girl named Mora Carrigan. And in Part II, twelve years have passed since Gavon arrived in Salem and Gavon and Mora are parents to a couple of precocious toddlers. But not everyone is happy that two magical children exist outside the strict Danvers Accords. And when Mora becomes pregnant with a third--this time a Warrior--Gavon begins to feel the pressure of balancing life in two worlds.

Book Description
Usually translated simply as "The Dawn," "The Dawn of Day," or "Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality," is a lesser-known work in which Nietzsche continues his exploration of the human condition, focusing on the themes of dawn and rebirth. He uses the metaphor of the red light of the morning (referring to the Greek goddess Aurora and the Roman Catholic Red Mass, which invokes the Theotokos) to symbolize the awakening of consciousness and the potential for renewal and transformation. This work reflects Nietzsche's ongoing interest in the cyclical nature of life and the possibility of overcoming nihilism and despair. This translation uses a more accurate translation of the original German "Morgenröthe", rendering it as "The Scarlet Dawn". Morgenröthe is a unique German word that refers to the reddening of the sky in the twilight hours before daybreak. This has historically been translated as "dawn" or simply "daybreak," but this misses the connotation of the word. Mere "dawn" is "twilight" in German, but Morgenröthe is a specific phenomenon of the eastern sky before dawn. In Roman mythology, there is a goddess associated with the dawn - Aurora. In Greek mythology, Homer called this the "rose-fingered Eos". This has continuity in Christianity as the Red Mass, the beginning of two different antiphons in the Advent liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church, celebrating Mary, symbolized by the dawn, traditionally celebrated during the pre-dawn reddening of the sky. While there is no direct equivalent word for the pre-dawn reddening, the closest literal translation would be "The Reddening Dawn," but to capture the dramatic tone I've rendered this as "The Scarlet Daybreak. Nietzsche is speaking here of a hope for his own dawn out of the nihilism into which he was born - "his own dawn". 1881 Letter to his sister Nietzsche writes: "read the book [The Scarlet Dawn], if I may, from a point of view that I would advise all other readers not to read, from a very personal point of view (sisters also have privileges). Search out everything that tells you what basically your brother needs the most, has the most need of, what he wants and what he does not want. Read especially the fifth book, where many things are written between the lines. Where everything still strives with me cannot be said in one word - and if I had the word, I would not say it. It depends on favorable but quite unpredictable circumstances. My good friends (and everyone else) don't really know anything about me and probably haven't thought about it yet; I myself have always been very silent about all my main things, without appearing to be so. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This edition contains: • • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life and works

Book Description
Review- Dusk, Dawn and Liberation By Peter J. Armstrong “I had spent some time in Bangladesh, but knew little about the country’s tortured, difficult birth, until I read this book. It is an extraordinary story, told in a balanced, impartial way, in spite of the terrible things done to those who wished only to speak their own language, in their own country, and who wished to be masters of their own destiny. In the matter-of-fact way the story unfolds, there is a tone of understatement which actually brings home the horror of that time in a vivid way. The direct and literal translation of some conversations from Bengali reminds one of Hemingway’s literal translations of Spanish conversations, which serves to bring one more closely into a different world - a world of pain, suffering and ultimately, deliverance. I look forward to more of this writer’s work.” By Blue Ink review It is a novel of hope as well, finding beauty in the wake of incredible horror; Ahmed’s ambitious novel is a story of healing and humanity triumphing over retribution and despair. It will leave readers feeling empathy for the Bangladeshi people’s suffering on their path toward independence. By KIRKUS Review This work of historical fiction chronicles the events that led to East Pakistan declaring its independence of what is now Bangladesh. This history informs the escalation of the conflict into a prolonged campaign of violence by the state military against East Pakistan’s Bengali and Hindu populations. Ahmed shifts the narrative between various characters on both sides of the divide . Ahmed is well-versed in the politics and history of his subject matter.
