An airship captain battles spies, disturbing visions, and more as she races to find treasure in this swashbuckling high fantasy series conclusion. When a legendary craton is discovered, newly appointed airship captain Isabelle desZephyrs and her trusted musketeer Jean-Claude travel on a perilous mission to recover its fabled treasure for l’Empire Céleste. Bust Isabelle’s leadership quickly becomes jeopardized. The dark, magical abilities she inherited give her increasingly disturbing and disruptive hallucinations. Disasters are compounded when a spy sabotages the ship, and Jean-Claude is lost to the expedition. Separated, Isabelle and Jean-Claude must each overcome a growing number of enemies—from the past, from the court, and from their own minds—and gather trustworthy friends before a rival expedition unlocks an ancient secret for their own nefarious ends.

A great read!” —Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times–bestselling author, on An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors “A fun, complicated tale, filled with adventure and intrigue.” —Booklist on A Labyrinth of Scions and Sorcery

Who would ever think of creating Christian haiku? John Mark Peterson did, and he has done the Christian faith a favor. For the entire Liturgical Year, Mark has authored haiku that are beautifully composed, biblically grounded, and spiritually enriching. They bring contemplation to the mind and joy to the heart. Read them! Father Th omas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap. Capuchin College, Washington DC Former member of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission The biblical poetry contained in Before the Last Sky by John Mark Peterson has the potential to open new horizons for everyone who reads it. Faith comes by hearing, and the marvelous rhythm generated by Mark's creative combination of Scripture with the language of poetry affords the reader with encounters that can free heart, mind and soul. The great saint and poet Pope John Paul II said, "Faith frees thought and opens new horizons to the language of poetry” (March 18, 1994). What a beautiful blessing! Father Stan Fortuna, CFR

| ISBN | : 1442260300 |
Unsettling the World is the first book-length treatment of Edward Said’s influential cultural criticism from the perspective of a political theorist. Arguing that the generative power of Said’s thought extends well beyond Orientalism, the book explores Said’s writings on the experience of exile, the practice of “contrapuntal” criticism, and the illuminating potential of worldly humanism. Said’s critical vision, Morefield argues, provides a fresh perspective on debates in political theory about subjectivity, global justice, identity, and the history of political thought. Most importantly, she maintains, Said’s approach offers theorists a model of how to bring the insights developed through historical analyses of imperialism and anti-colonialism to bear on critiques of contemporary global crises and the politics of American foreign policy.
