She can see the future . . . but never predicted falling for a demon from her past Gwen Wexloff can see the future . . . just not when it matters. Her visions invariably involve trivial issues, which means - unlike most oracles - she's spent her life predicting for everyday humans instead of international power brokers. But when brain-eating zombies escape from their walled-off compound, Gwen gets her first truly world-altering vision . . . and now she needs help fast. Unfortunately, that help comes from Hugh Blacke, the same buttoned-up (but annoyingly cute) demon who watched her bomb her oracle verification test years ago. To Gwen's dismay, the two of them will need to work together to unravel the deadly conspiracy behind the zombie breach, despite their complicated past and the secrets they're keeping. Even with her newfound power, she couldn't have foreseen how quickly they'd both want more than a simple partnership. But the clock is ticking - and with the fate of humanity at stake, Gwen and Hugh will have to decide how much they're willing to risk for an unexpected, passionate love . . . and a future together that might prove very short indeed.

• INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER! • #1 ABA Indie Bookstores (PB Nonfiction) • #6 New York Times (combined HC and PB Nonfiction) • #9 Publishers Weekly (overall PB) • #16 USA Today overall (all genres, formats) • An urgent, bracing new look at American history that Ava DuVernay calls "deeply necessary for this moment." Revisit the Salem Witch Trials, the Underground Railroad, and other resistance movements of American history to get a bold new understanding of how resistance shaped our past—and how its principles can change our future. The United States was shaped by resistance—but not in the way we’ve been taught. The Revolution did not secure liberty; it opened the door to either liberty or oppression, where only white men enjoyed all of the benefits and protections of citizenship. In A Resistance History of the United States, public historian Tad Stoermer shows how from the very beginning, that tension—between the ideals of resistance and the realities of power—has defined America more than the Enlightenment ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Utililizing powerful storytelling to focus on key—and often lesser-known—moments in American history, this book reveals the truth of how resistance movements from Colonial times have opposed the powers that be. Stoermer covers an impressive roster of pivotal movements, with each chapter identifying a key resistance movement and principle meant to inspire contemporary readers, including: Bacon’s Rebellion/Metacomet’s War (1676) Salem Witch Trials (1692) The Black Loyalists (1783) The Underground Railroad (1850) Through these and many more examples, Stoermer dismantles the mythologies that pass for American history—exposing the curated nostalgia, moral evasions, and institutional silences that have long protected abusive power. What emerges is an essential look at how we can take lessons from the past to understand, and effectively respond to, the injustices we face today.

How does one kill the unkillable? Sparrow and her companions have been left with an impossible task: slay the immortal Deathless King, whose magic siphons the very life of the world to sustain himself. The answer may lie deep in the past, when those who would become Deathless Kings stormed the sanctuary of the goddess of Fate, in an attempt to remove their threads from the Weave and become immortal. They broke off a piece of the goddess’s loom and hurled it to the earth, where it still lies at the center of a dangerous wasteland called the World Scar. For any chance against the Deathless King, Sparrow and her companions must brave the World Scar and reach the loom, which would grant the power of a goddess. But the journey is fraught with danger, and the powerful Deathless King determined to find them. And if the loom is reached—what will the power of a goddess do to a mere mortal? Sparrow has no choice but to find out.

In ancient times, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and sexuality, was famous for her beauty, sensuality and sexual freedom. She had a magical belt made of precious metals—if worn on her hips, it gave irresistible attractive sexual power to any woman who wore it. On the pages of this book, the author explains how to use the magic of Aphrodite in order to reveal the power and beauty of female sexuality. Through dancing, tasks and certain rituals, you will learn to find a source of divine femininity in yourself, from which you can draw strength and inspiration for a happy and harmonious life. You will learn how to recognize and heal the mental wounds inflicted on you in the past. "The Aphrodite belt, which you can weave for yourself, embodies the inherent qualities of sexuality, radiant beauty and sensual freedom. These are the most important properties of every woman. So, one by one, we weave the magic of Aphrodite" (Jane Meredith).

An assembly of refusals portraying the radical power of "no" by the renowned scholar and author of The Feminist Killjoy Handbook, Sara Ahmed. To be heard as complaining is not to be heard, writes Sara Ahmed. In her sweeping exploration of complaint as a means of resistance, Ahmed attunes her "feminist ear" to those who seek to challenge powerful institutions. She shows how complaints can unbury past complaints, getting them out of filing cabinets or from behind closed doors, allowing us to see institutions more clearly--how they work, and for whom they work. Where complaints live, how complaints are made, who receives them, who buries them and where--Ahmed's accessible, attentive writing brings to life the lessons learned from people knocking at closed doors, teaching us how to collectively resist the glacial weight of institutional power. This book inspires all of us to persist, to say "No!" and to build new collectivities that break down brick walls together.
