When my home is taken over by an angry pack who wants me dead, I'm forced to run, so I go to the one place my attackers won't dare follow: The Blood Pack. But the Blood Alpha watches his territory more closely than I imagined. His people catch me, and drag me to their capitol. And instead of killing me, they decide to keep me. The problem? They have no idea who I am. So now if I want to stay alive, I have to make the most ruthless pack in Tendira believe I'm one of them. That plan goes surprisingly well... until the Alpha decides he wants me as his mate. Then I'm a human pretending to be a shifter, a queen pretending to be powerless, and a woman pretending not to fall in love with the deadliest shifter that's ever existed. I'll die if I go back to my castle, but if the Blood Pack discovers my lies, I'll suffer a fate far worse than death. And with my survival on the line, I can't afford to lose anything to the Blood Alpha... Especially my heart. *SOUL OF THE PACK is a full-length fantasy romance novel, book 1 in a rapid-release series recommended for readers who love books by Jaymin Eve, Linsey Hall, Jen L.

As a girl of eleven, Elizabeth I translated into English a poem by Marguerite of Navarre on incest, spiritual and physical. Four years later her translation, tided "The Glass of the Sinful Soul," was published by the Protestant reformer John Bale. However ingenuous Elizabeth may have been at eleven, she surely realized the implications of the tract when she permitted new editions in 1568, 1582, and 1590. Its bearing on her own family and her precarious hold on the throne was all too obvious when dissenters accused both her father, Henry VIII, and her mother, Ann Boleyn, of adultery; when her father had sought to annul his first marriage on grounds of incest, when her mother was accused by Henry of incest, and when Elizabeth herself was deemed a bastard. Making Elizabeth's little-known work readily available to today's scholars, Elizabeth's Glass includes a photographic reproduction of Elizabeth's manuscript and a modern transcription, as well as John Bale's additions to his 1548 edition. In an erudite and penetrating introduction, Marc Shell investigates the complex political, familial, theological, and ecclesiastical forces that made Elizabeth acutely conscious of incest and made her translation an emblem of a controversy that stormed throughout Reformation Europe.
