The epic, unmissable new romantic fantasy. 2025's most-anticipated debut romantasy is filled with hope after heartbreak, secrets, betrayal, dancing - and the touch of a goddess of death...My protector is gone, revealed to be a monster. But I remind myself that I am not a damsel. I'm no princess bound within a tower. I am a shadow. Twenty-two-year-old Vasalie Moran was once a gifted dancer in King Illian's court - until he framed her for murder without explanation. Barely surviving her two years in the dungeons at the cost of her mind and body, she's suddenly called to face her King. He offers her a deal: become his spy at the month-long royal Gathering and he'll grant her freedom. But dark forces are at work within the Gathering's halls. As Illian's orders grow bloody and dangerous, forcing her to harm and betray those around her, Vasalie discovers the monster she serves may be aligned with a bigger monster - one far closer to home. With her world and freedom threatened, Vasalie enlists the help of Illian's brother and greatest adversary, the King of the East, who despite his devil-may-care reputation proves himself to be both politically astute and surprisingly kind. As the rivalry between brothers escalates with Vasalie caught in the middle, the truth of her past, including her imprisonment and the real reason Illian chose her as his spy, comes to light. If she wants to survive, she must decide who to trust, who to fight for, and how much of her soul she's willing to damn in the process...

An expert lineup of contributors fill in the methodological and intellectual gaps in the field of comparative international law.

This book explores criminal sentencing as a political, legal and social process, setting out a democratic account of sentencing in common law jurisdictions. Taking sentencing as a case study of public decision-making in which judges manage public interests, often through value-laden and discretionary choices, it draws on a particular vision of deliberative democracy. This is a vision on which the legitimacy of sentencing decisions is shown to hinge on processes of public reasoning, listening, and deliberation aimed at justifying sentences. The book thereby contributes to the broader project of grounding criminal justice, and the state power that enforces it, within political theory, and aligns criminal scholarship with a leading perspective on public governance.Over the course of its chapters, the book unpacks and illustrates the demands of deliberative democracy for both sentencing participants and the legal frameworks that envelop them. This occurs with reference to the law, scholarship, and practices of various jurisdictions-primarily Canada, England and Wales, and the United States-and engagement with a range of issues: the public character of criminal wrongs and responses, mandatory sentencing provisions, sentencing rationales, lay input, and sentencing guidelines. The book offers a compelling account of criminal justice's public nature, outlines a framework of legitimacy for the everyday politics of sentencing courts, and provides a coherent foundation for more effective sentencing. In doing so, it shows the moral and practical value of taking democracy seriously and lays groundwork for both reform and future research in criminal theory.

Fascinating chronicles of an utterly unique life in football and 18 years at Newcastle United, with a foreword by Alan Shearer. Life in Black and White offers a unique perspective on life behind the scenes at one of England's most famous football clubs. No other individual has had the immense privilege of working at Newcastle United in the capacity that Paul Ferris once did: as a player between 1981 and 1986, physiotherapist between 1993 and 2003, and finally as a key member of Alan Shearer's management team in 2009. The book is a deliberately light-hearted, often hilarious retelling of endless, and sometimes unbelievable, stories of events Paul experienced, and characters he met. His numerous, otherwise forgotten tales from a bygone era in 1980s football include the likes of Kevin Keegan, Jack Charlton, Paul Gascoigne, George Best and more. Ferris' chronicles from 18 years at Newcastle United also feature managers such as Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Gullit, Bobby Robson, the tumultuous 1993-2006 period and Alan Shearer's ill-fated short tenure. If you are a Newcastle United supporter, football fan or loved The Boy on the Shed, this book is the ultimate way to revisit the club's precious glory days of football.

I'm just worried because I think what I'm being turned on by is the fact that you're imagining a stable future with me, whereas what you're being turned on by is the potential potency of your own sperm. They're on the same page. It's just sex. It doesn't have to be complicated. Anyway, it wouldn't work. He hates kissing in the morning. She killed her guinea pigs. He doesn't speak to his dad. They're totally different people. It's just sex.
