A blistering narrative account of the negligence and greed that pushed all of Wall Street into chaos and the country into a financial crisis. At the beginning of March 2008, the monetary fabric of Bear Stearns, one of the world’s oldest and largest investment banks, began unraveling. After ten days, the bank no longer existed, its assets sold under duress to rival JPMorgan Chase. The effects would be felt nationwide, as the country suddenly found itself in the grip of the worst financial mess since the Great Depression. William Cohan exposes the corporate arrogance, power struggles, and deadly combination of greed and inattention, which led to the collapse of not only Bear Stearns but the very foundations of Wall Street.

Is Democracy overrated? Does power corrupt? Or do corrupt people seek power? Do corporate puppet masters pull politicians’ strings? Why does Frank talk to the camera? Can politics deliver on the promise of justice? House of Cards depicts our worst fears about politics today. Love him or loathe him, Frank Underwood has charted an inimitable course through Washington politics. He and his cohorts depict the darkest dealings within the gleaming halls of our most revered political institutions. These 24 original essays examine key philosophical issues behind the critically-acclaimed series—questions of truth, justice, equality, opportunity, and privilege. The amoral machinations of Underwood, the ultimate anti-hero, serve as an ideal backdrop for a discussion of the political theories of philosophers as diverse as Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Marx. From political and corporate ethics, race relations, and ruthless paragmatism to mass media collusion and sexual politics, these essays tackle a range of issues important not only to the series but to our understanding of society today.

This digital box set includes the first four books in the Eleanor Morgan series, more than 1,200 pages of contemporary fantasy, Fae, adventure, magic, and dragons! Eleanor Morgan is faced with an impossible choice: destroy the world of her birth or the world she calls home? THE WORLDBREAKER: Eleanor Morgan lived her first thirty-four years as a happily mundane human in the Pacific Northwest. Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a story if it stayed that way. After she nearly ends up as a vampire’s appetizer, Eleanor finally learns the truth. She was sent from the Fae Plane as a child so she could one day trigger the fairy magic and open the eight gates between Earth and the Fae Plane. THE GUIDE: Finnegan Byrne, half-Fae and a servant of the Light Throne, met Eleanor in a bar six years ago and has been biding his time ever since. Although he longs for more, his true mission is to reveal the truth and be her guide when the magic breaks. THE WEREWOLF: Damaged, alone, and powerful, Isaac Walker has no place in the local pack, and his Alpha gives him a mission to get him out of town. He’s supposed to accompany Eleanor on her quest to open the gates between the Fae Realm and Earth—and take her out if she proves too big a threat. What wasn’t part of his brief was falling in love. THE WITCH: Every magic wielder needs a teacher, and Eleanor finds hers in Florence White Elk. Florence joins the team to train Eleanor and help protect humanity from the effects of the tech-destroying magic that comes with each gate opening, but her help comes with a price. Eleanor most help rescue Florence’s twin sister who was kidnapped by the Fae when she was a child. THE VAMPIRE: Deliciously sexy Raj Allred leads the PNW vampires, but what he wants almost more than anything is to take control of the world-breaker. Instead of taking her prisoner and stopping the gates from opening, Raj finds himself tied to her by friendship, respect, and desire. Everyone has secrets, and no one is what they seem… Will Eleanor’s trust in her companions be rewarded, or will it be what destroys it all? "This [The Cardinal Gate] is a whole story with a strong female protagonist and superior writing! Brilliant and entertaining." — Rabia Tanveer, Readers’ Favorites, 5-star review "The Waning Moon is a can't-miss fantasy adventure with humor, snark, and fun banter. A must-read!" — Liz Konkel, Readers’ Favorite, 5-star review “This [The Ruby Blade] is an epic fantasy and fans of magic and mayhem will lap it up, but the by-play and the strong, positive characters, especially the women, are so refreshing to read. This is one of those books that is impossible to put down as one exciting scene just literally drags you into the next, but for readers with a thirst for witty, sassy, dialogue, that's all here too.” — Grant Leishman, Readers' Favorite, 5-star review “This book [The Broken World] was amazing! I so enjoy the characters and their quirks. I am very much looking forward to the next installment in this wonderfully unique series. I can't wait to see what happens next! Amy Cissell has now been added to my must-read authors list.” — 5-star Amazon Review Keywords: contemporary fantasy, box set contemporary fantasy, vampire romance, adult shifter romance, fantasy complete series, vampire books, shifter books, action adventure fantasy, dragon books, portal fantasy, Fae faery fantasy, supernatural series, tough heroine books, magical apocalypse books, witch books, Fae books, humorous fantasy, urban fantasy
