In this stunning conclusion to the Raven’s Trade duology that began with The Gilded Crown, Hellevir’s bargain with Death to bring the ones she loves back to life – including the princess she risked everything to save – may just lead to the ultimate sacrifice. Hellevir’s gift to raise the dead once thrust her into a dangerous web of court politics where she was bound to protect Princess Sullivain, the sole heir to the kingdom’s throne. But the more Hellevir risked to keep Sullivain alive and the more deeply she fell in love with her, the greater the cost became. Lives can only be granted by the strange figure who rules the afterlife, and there is always a price to pay. Now, as Sullivain’s hunger for power grows and the threats to her reign become only too real, Hellevir is faced with the choice, either to help the Princess in her fight for the Crown, or stand against her. Cast out to the fringes of a country on the verge of civil war, Hellevir must unravel the last of Death’s riddles and decide, once and for all, who deserves to live, and what a life is worth.

Local environments such as cities and neighbourhoods are becoming a focal point for those concerned with environmental justice and sustainability. The Citizens at Risk takes up this emerging agenda and analyses the key issues in a refreshingly simple yet sophisticated style. Taking a comparative look at cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, the book examines: the changing nature of urban environmental risks, the rules governing the distribution of such risks and their differential impact, how the risks arise and who is responsible The authors clearly describe the most pressing urban environmental challenges, such as improving health conditions in deprived urban settlements, ensuring sustainable urban development in a globalizing world, and achieving environmental justice along with the greening of development. They argue that current debates on sustainable development fail to come to terms with these challenges, and call for a more politically and ethically explicit approach. For policy makers, students, academics, activists or concerned general readers, this book applies a wealth of empirical analysis and theoretical insight to the interaction of citizens, their cities and their environment.

Antologin Jiddisch i Sverige: mir zaynen do samlar 25 berättelser om ett judiskt språk och kultur som vägrar försvinna. En berättelse för varje år som jiddisch varit ett erkänt nationellt minoritetsspråk i Sverige. Texterna rör sig mellan barndomsminnen och litterära möten, mellan bänkraderna i shul och barrikaderna, mellan Drohobych och Klippgatan. Skribenterna skiljer sig åt i ålder, bakgrund, politisk och religiös övertygelse, men delar insikten att jiddisch på olika sätt har format dem. Detta är den första av två antologier där jiddischvärlden står i centrum. En plats dit alla är välkomna. Ett ovanligt rum i dessa tider. Denna volym är tillägnad Salomon Schulman (1947–2024), som med sina berättelser, översättningar och kloka läkarråd lärde en hel generation att älska, käfta och sjunga – på jiddisch – i Sverige. Författarna är: Sofia Berg-Böhm, Håkan Blomqvist, Dorotea Bromberg, Karin Brygger, Urszula Ulla Chowaniec, Ronn Elfors Lipsker, Sari Feld, Alexander Freudenthal, Marianne Goldman, Danny Gordon, Bernt Hermele, Kenneth Hyltenstam, Erik Joas, Ulrika Knutson, Hannah Laustiola Frydman, Sara Mannheimer, Stefan Mehr, Tommaso M. Milani, Simo Muir, Morton Narrowe, Adriana Savin, Aviva Scheiman, Abbe Schulman, Salomon Schulman, Jan Schwarz och Leif Zern.
