Book Description
In this paranormal romance novella, a gifted medium finds love and solace with a troubled ghost haunting his home. A gifted one, Yuri Sokolov was born with the ability to see spirits, but he knows better than to make contact with them. Yet he’s never seen one as lovely as Cat Seddon, the woman who haunts his home and his dreams. But amid their star-crossed love, a new danger may have Yuri facing a different kind of eternity. *Originally published in On the Hunt* “Duvall’s hauntingly beautiful novella, set in the world of the Immortal Guardians portrays the deep love between two people who can never touch, with a wonderfully unexpected ending.”—Publishers Weekly Praise for New York Times–bestseller Dianne Duvall and the Immortal Guardians series “Duvall is a major player.”—RT Book Reviews “The Immortal Guardians series is one you’ll want to follow.”—The Romance Review “These dark, kick-ass guardians can protect me any day!”—New York Times–bestselling author Alexandra Ivy on Darkness Dawns “Whizzing along at light speed...this sophomore effort sizzles.”—Publishers Weekly on Night Reigns
Hope in the Dark
Author: Rebecca Solnit
Publisher: Haymarket Books

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
“[A] landmark book . . . Solnit illustrates how the uprisings that begin on the streets can upend the status quo and topple authoritarian regimes” (Vice). A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, her Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of activists at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind them—and the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of our times in an unforgettable new edition of this classic book. “One of the best books of the 21st century.” —The Guardian “No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exuberance that’s marked this new millennium.” —Bill McKibben, New York Times–bestselling author of Falter “An elegant reminder that activist victories are easily forgotten, and that they often come in extremely unexpected, roundabout ways.” —The New Yorker
