Yara Parmstone, human thief and newly chosen Queen of the Dragon Shifters, is unimpressed with her new title. Especially since it’s turning into a living nightmare. The last full-moon ritual didn’t give the dragon shifters their usual power boost—but it did give them a wimpy human as queen. Now? They’re pissed. They blame Yara. And they’re out for blood. It’s even worse than that, though. Something dark and powerful is working to pit the dragons against each other, including the brothers in Yara’s sexy-as-hell harem. Why? To invade the land and snack on some crunchy humans, of course. Yara’s about ready to develop a new motto: bros before hordes before civil wars. Or it least, she would be if she thought she might live beyond her coronation. Don't miss book 2 of this scorching hot reverse harem series! If you love authors like T.S.

Women can't fight. This assumption lies at the heart of the combat exclusion, a policy that was fiercely defended as essential to national security, despite evidence that women have been contributing to hostile operations now and throughout history. This book examines the role of women in the US military and the key arguments used to justify the combat exclusion, in the light of the decision to reverse the policy in 2013. Megan MacKenzie considers the historic role of the combat exclusion in shaping American military identity and debunks claims that the recent policy change signals a new era for women in the military. MacKenzie shows how women's exclusion from combat reaffirms male supremacy in the military and sustains a key military myth, the myth of the band of brothers. This book will be welcomed by scholars and students of military studies, gender studies, social and military history, and foreign policy.

Humans are seen as weak. Helpless. Crude. And yet, I hold the heart of the Vakhing King. Thor found me battered and beaten—he believed me to be frail—but I taught that Vakhing what it means to be human… To be fierce. He nearly gives up his throne to be with me, but I can’t let that happen. Now, it’s time for me to show everyone what I am capable of. I will prove to this race that I am as strong as their warriors. I am meant to be with the Vakhing. Thor’s blood Sang for me. And the blood cannot be denied. But when it comes time for the trials, something is wrong… My tasks are laden with traps. They are nearly the death of me. But as a human, I refuse to be defeated. I have only two options: win my place at the side of the Vakhing King or… die.

An epic history of the Mongols as we have never seen them—not just conquerors but also city builders, diplomats, and supple economic thinkers who constructed one of the most influential empires in history. The Mongols are widely known for one thing: conquest. In the first comprehensive history of the Horde, the western portion of the Mongol empire that arose after the death of Chinggis Khan, Marie Favereau shows that the accomplishments of the Mongols extended far beyond war. For three hundred years, the Horde was no less a force in global development than Rome had been. It left behind a profound legacy in Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, palpable to this day. Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime—a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility—rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative. From its capital at Sarai on the lower Volga River, the Horde provided a governance model for Russia, influenced social practice and state structure across Islamic cultures, disseminated sophisticated theories about the natural world, and introduced novel ideas of religious tolerance. The Horde is the eloquent, ambitious, and definitive portrait of an empire little understood and too readily dismissed. Challenging conceptions of nomads as peripheral to history, Favereau makes clear that we live in a world inherited from the Mongol moment.
