The next thrilling installment of The Devil's Isle trilogy from Chicagoland Vampires author Chloe Neill. New Orleans has never been sexier or more dangerous . . .
In the first thrilling installment of Chloe Neill's spinoff to the New York Times bestselling Chicagoland Vampires series, a new vampire will find out just how deep blood ties run.
In the second pulse-pounding novel in the USA Today bestselling Heirs of Chicagoland series, vampire Elisa Sullivan gets drawn into the shifting sands of Pack politics.
Elisa Sullivan is the only vampire ever born, and she bears a heavy legacy. After a sojourn with the North American Central Pack of shifters in the wilderness--where she turned a young woman into a vampire to save her life--Elisa returns to Chicago. But no good deed goes unpunished. The ruling body of vampires, the Assembly of American Masters, is furious that Elisa turned someone without their permission, and they're out for her blood. When an AAM vampire is found dead, Elisa is the prime suspect. Someone else is stalking Chicago-and Elisa. She'll need to keep a clear head, and a sharp blade, to survive all the supernatural strife.
As the only vampire ever born, not made, and the daughter of two very powerful Chicago vampires, Elisa Sullivan always knew her life was going to be...unusual. But she always wanted to make her own way in the world, likely away from her famous family. Then supernatural politics-and perhaps a bit of destiny-intervened, and Elisa had to steady her nerves and sharpen her steel, to fight for the city of Chicago. Luckily, Connor Keene, son of the North American Pack Leader, is right by her side. Elisa and some of the paranormal Ombudsmen she works with agree to escort a troubled sorcerer to Chicago for training, but they inadvertently set in motion a scheme of long-awaited magical vengeance. The city may pay an arcane price it can't afford, unless Elisa and her team rise to the challenge.

Chloe Neill brings her trademark wit and wild sense of adventure to a stunning seafaring fantasy starring a dauntless heroine in a world of magic and treachery. Kit Brightling, rescued as a foundling and raised in a home for talented girls, has worked hard to rise through the ranks of the Isles' Crown Command and become one of the few female captains in Queen Charlotte's fleet. Her ship is small, but she's fast--in part because of Kit's magical affinity to the sea. But the waters become perilous when the queen sends Kit on a special mission with a partner she never asked for. Rian Grant, Viscount Queenscliffe, may be a veteran of the Continental war, but Kit doesn't know him or his motives--and she's dealt with one too many members of the Beau Monde.

Kit can lead her ship and clever crew on her own, but with the fate of queen and country at stake, Kit and Rian must learn to trust each other, or else the Isles will fall....
TO BE MORE THAN September 28th, 2018, I discovered there was a blood clot in my internal jugular vein. Within that same week, I was suddenly unable to use my voice. To hear me, you had to lean in close. You still have too... During this time, I made the decision to start documenting this experience through my outlet of choice, writing, and specifically, but not without occasional straying, poetry. I wasn't sure that I would ever feel comfortable sharing this experience in full, but here I am. Here we are. Discovering the endless ways in which our voices can be heard. Ways in which we are more than. Though this book is a chronological documentation of the first six months of living with a whisper, the underlying tone is that of adaption, observation, dedication, and perhaps more than anything else, community.
Sebbene il Sudafrica sia diventato uno dei maggiori destinatari di domande di asilo al mondo, rimane un Paese che si confronta con l'eredit di un passato traumatico. Questa monografia offre una panoramica del contesto socio-economico e politico del Sudafrica in relazione alle questioni legate alla migrazione e ai rifugiati. Ripercorre la letteratura esistente sulla mobilit umana nel contesto storico e contemporaneo del Sudafrica e presenta i risultati di uno studio qualitativo, limitato ed esplorativo, condotto a Citt del Capo e incentrato sulle organizzazioni non profit (ONP) che forniscono servizi ai rifugiati e ai richiedenti asilo. L'accesso limitato alla documentazione, la lentezza amministrativa e la percezione di corruzione presso il Dipartimento degli Affari Interni, la chiusura dell'Ufficio di Accoglienza dei Rifugiati di Citt del Capo, gli abusi e la discriminazione sono alcune delle principali sfide che i rifugiati e i richiedenti asilo devono affrontare. Vengono discussi i principali limiti delle ONP locali nel rispondere ai bisogni dei loro beneficiari e le strategie per superare tali ostacoli. Questo dimostra l'ottimo lavoro svolto dalle ONP con risorse limitate per fare la loro parte nell'aiutare i cittadini stranieri a integrarsi e a contribuire alla Nazione Arcobaleno.
