After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.

It seems like a total scam except for the fact that it'll get me out of Kansas. After dealing with my past, I'm more than happy to claim this Get Out of Kansas Free card. After spending a year in prison, staying married to a CEO for half of a year doesn't seem too bad, now does it?

All that's about to change, though, because I'm getting married. The moment I see Melinda, I know that she's the one. My inner-lion knows, too.

We're going to have to fight for what we believe in, and we're going to have to fight for her safety. Luckily for Melinda, I love a good challenge.

We aren’t allowed anywhere. Ever. The fairy king is a notorious asshole who only looks after himself. He doesn’t care if his people starve. He doesn’t care if the world burns around him. Not as long as he has his girls and his admiration. But when I’m captured, the fairy king might also be my only chance at escaping before it’s too late.
