Lazarus Cross was a king betrayed, a hero forgotten, and a monster reborn. Now awakened after centuries, he wields blood magic strong enough to challenge gods—and seduction potent enough to bind monsters to his cause. From vampire queens and druidic warriors to ghosts, shifters, and demonic lovers, every conquest brings him closer to reclaiming his throne… and reshaping a world ruled by deceitful deities and beautiful nightmares. In a realm where love is dangerous, loyalty is earned in blood, and power corrupts as surely as desire consumes, Lazarus will forge his empire one battle at a time.

Wild swimming in February? No, thank you. It sounds like torture to Fiona, Daisy, and Partial Sue, the retired ladies behind the counter at Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop.

When Hernan Cortes brought down an empire of millions with a few hundred men, he let a secret out of the bag that we have been trying to forget ever since. A civilization is astonishingly easy to knock over. And almost nobody has to die for it to happen. Peter Kriger takes up mischievous satire Anti-Columbus, the one in which the Aztecs sail east and discover Europe, and chases the joke all the way to its unsettling, oddly liberating end. His argument is simple and hard to unhear: a civilization is a shop window.

Todos lo admitieron al mismo tiempo. Internet entero levantó la vista de su teléfono y confesó que sí , que piensa constantemente en el Imperio Romano. Lo convertimos en una broma, porque así solemos hacer con las cosas que nos asustan un poco. Pero la broma escondía un secreto, y el secreto es este: no podemos dejar de pensar en Roma porque, en realidad, nunca la abandonamos. Este libro se toma el meme en serio sin tomarse en serio a sí mismo. Argumenta algo genuinamente extraño y genuinamente cierto: que Roma no colapsó tanto como migró.

Eight years later his own university professor published a list of complaints about precisely this line of business. The Elector protected him for the rest of his life and never agreed with a word he said. That is the Reformation in one household, and it is not the version most of us were taught. The usual version has a brave man, a hammer, a door, and the birth of the modern mind.
