Jasmin is a 17-year-old shape shifter whose whole world has been turned upside down over the last six months. Her pack has been scattered, she's nearly died more times than she can count, and the boy she cares about more than anyone else in the entire world is in a vampire-caused coma that has every sign of being terminal. Geoffrey has spent untold decades, or possibly even centuries, as a slave to others of his kind, vampires who were stronger and more ruthless than him. Escaping New York cost Geoffrey everything and the holes inside of his memory mean that he doesn't even really understand what it is he lost in his efforts to get away from his former master, Imastious. Vampires and shape shifters are natural enemies, but these two are going to have to find a way to work together. There's more at stake than just their own lives, and forces neither of them fully understand are gathering to make sure that neither of them survive the week. Publisher's Note: For the first time, characters from Dean Murray's Reflections novels will be meeting up with characters from Eldon Murphy's Reflections novels. Before reading Driven, it is strongly suggested that the reader have finished the Eldon Murphy Reflections books up to this point (The Greater Darkness, and A Darkness Mirrored) as well as all of the Dean Murray Reflections titles (Broken, Torn, Splintered, Intrusion, Numb, Trapped, Forsaken, and Riven).

Leads scholars and anyone who cares about the humanities into more effectively analyzing the fate of the humanities and digging into the very idea of the humanities as a way to find meaning and coherence in the world. The humanities, considered by many as irrelevant for modern careers and hopelessly devoid of funding, seem to be in a perpetual state of crisis, at the mercy of modernizing and technological forces that are driving universities towards academic pursuits that pull in grant money and direct students to lucrative careers. But as Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon show, this crisis isn’t new—in fact, it’s as old as the humanities themselves. Today’s humanities scholars experience and react to basic pressures in ways that are strikingly similar to their nineteenth-century German counterparts. The humanities came into their own as scholars framed their work as a unique resource for resolving crises of meaning and value that threatened other cultural or social goods. The self-understanding of the modern humanities didn’t merely take shape in response to a perceived crisis; it also made crisis a core part of its project. Through this critical, historical perspective, Permanent Crisis can take scholars and anyone who cares about the humanities beyond the usual scolding, exhorting, and hand-wringing into clearer, more effective thinking about the fate of the humanities. Building on ideas from Max Weber and Friedrich Nietzsche to Helen Small and Danielle Allen, Reitter and Wellmon dig into the very idea of the humanities as a way to find meaning and coherence in the world. ,
