Death stalks the abbey halls... Only, Justicar Jhee, a magic-wielding sleuth can stop its sinister forces before they claim her husband. On Jhee's way from her remote home district to the Imperial capital, a wild wave damages her polygamous household's yacht, and they are forced to halt for repairs at a secluded abbey. With communications disrupted, the abbess invites them to stay but soon their visit takes a frightening turn when Jhee sees a masked figure acting suspiciously. Dismissed as ghosts by the others, Jhee’s natural instinct is to investigate. She discovers that the previous abbess and several novices had died under suspicious circumstances and rumors abound of an ancient cult, risen once more and led by a figure called the Mist Abbess. As she digs ever deeper into the mystery she discovers even more shocking revelations, with refugees from the sea going missing and smugglers, human traffickers and anarchists operating at will. There is more to the abbey than meets the eye and soon Jhee’s life is threatened by the malevolence that stalks its confines. Trapped by circumstances and with no way for help to arrive, can she uncover the truth before sinister forces claim her or her husband?

Death wears many faces... Only Justicar Jhee, the Empire's foremost magic-wielding sleuth, can unmask this one. Jhee and her polygamous household have settled into life in the capital, and for once, things seem peaceful. A war crimes tribunal against the doctors of the Medical Protectorate is underway, and Jhee has been asked to assist with it. When invited to an Imperial retreat by their old Captain, he tells them that Jhee's old friend has gone missing. Jhee is concerned about her, as the friend had not been herself when they last met, and when her husband mentions that another of his friends is also missing, her suspicions are raised further. As she delves into the mystery, she uncovers more unsavory facts about her first and senior husband, who has become involved with a violent club of ex-military berserkers. When one of the missing friends turns up at her house, it seems that at least something is going her way. It isn't long before their friend disappears once more, and shortly afterward, berserkers and seemingly ordinary people turn up dead. Now, Jhee has a real mystery to contend with, as they had all been mugged days before their deaths. Who is responsible for their deaths? The answers lie closer to home than Jhee would like to admit. But how can she prove who committed these crimes and avoid the suspicions of the secret police, who think she is somehow involved?

Death never takes a holiday... Justicar Jhee, a magic-wielding sleuth, must work with local law enforcement to answer Galleon City's cries for justice before tensions explode. Galleon City is the central point in the Empire; the place where the Storm Shield protects the Blessed Isles from the wrath that surrounds them. But it is also a city that is being ripped apart by restless factions and swamped with refugees, the destitute and the unwanted. Jhee arrives in the city for vacation amidst this chaos, but it isn't long before intrigue strikes once more, in the form of illness and death at the nearby mine. With fingers of accusation being pointed at multiple suspects, Jhee and a local detective are called upon to investigate. But they soon uncover a much wider conspiracy and even greater dangers lying in wait in Galleon City, with disreputable mining companies and government corruption, creating unrest that is threatening to spill over. Now the unanswered questions are piling up. Why is Jhee's wife Mirrei suddenly unwell? Why would someone plot to destroy the Storm Shield? And is it the blessing that they once thought it was? With time running out, Jhee and her allies must stop a killer before they strike again and prevent an impending atrocity from wreaking havoc on the lives of millions.

This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. 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.
