A woman will rip your heart out, stomp on it, and throw it in your face laughing. No thanks. He'd rather shift into a wolf and run wild. Thrown together, Pete struggles with his growing attraction to the delectable Jena. From every side, enemies close in, determined to rip them apart. Can two strangers learn to rely on each other to not only survive, but to trust in the love growing between them before they are caught and killed? Or worse...

Qora Paunene Zela has never been able to glimpse the future like other Eyes of the Faulfenzair God... but he's always known where he's supposed to be, so powerfully that he never questioned it, even when it took him off-world on the Faulfenza's prototype warship, and from there into captivity and war among aliens. That those aliens should rescue him seemed fair, since they were the ones responsible for the mess they'd made of the galaxy. To a Faulfenzair's way of thinking, anyway. But the God has called Qora abroad again, and this time even a male who knows he's in the right place at the right time isn't sanguine about the journey. It's one thing to wait on history to unfold... another entirely to follow in the footsteps of one of his people's lost prophets, on the trail of the fourth and final messiah. A lifetime of trusting the God may not be enough preparation for the revelations awaiting Qora at journey's end.... Fireborn's Legacy ties together the history of the Faulfenza, as told in Zafiil, and the intertwined Eldritch and Chatcaavan stories from the books of the Fallowtide Sequence. It also sets the stage for the final conflict that will unite the sapient species of the Peltedverse and all its multiple histories. Let the saga commence!

Essays that explore the connections between time, representation, and identity within hip-hop culture. "This book, edited by Roy Christopher, is a moment. It is the deconstructed sample, the researched lyrical metaphors, the aha moment on the way to hip-hop enlightenment. Hip-hop permeates our world, and yet it is continually misunderstood. Hip-hop's intersections with Afrofuturism and science fiction provide fascinating touchpoints that enable us to see our todays and tomorrows. This book can be, for the curious, a window into a hip-hop-infused Alter Destiny--a journey whose spaceship you embarked on some time ago. Are you engaging this work from the gaze of the future? Are you the data thief sailing into the past to U-turn to the now? Or are you the unborn child prepping to build the next universe? No, you're the superhero. Enjoy the journey."--from the introduction by Ytasha L. Womack Through essays by some of hip-hop's most interesting thinkers, theorists, journalists, writers, emcees, and DJs, Boogie Down Predictions embarks on a quest to understand the connections between time, representation, and identity within hip-hop culture and what that means for the culture at large. Introduced by Ytasha L. Womack, author of Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture, this book explores these temporalities, possible pasts, and further futures from a diverse, multilayered, interdisciplinary perspective.
