A follow-up to the much loved Meratis Trilogy, this action adventure trilogy follows assassin Venn Connell as she fights to save her country from an enchanted army. Venn Connell is bored. When the Andvellian ambassador in Margolin goes missing, she jumps at the chance to find him, but quickly learns the mystery goes deeper than one missing courtier. With border tensions rising, a man vanishing before her eyes with a relic she believed lost, red-clad soldiers out for blood, and something dark following her from the charred ruins of Treevale fortress, Venn becomes a pawn in an unseen game. Forced to confront her past and question her future, Venn knows she has to tread carefully. One wrong move and she could lose herself in the shadows, and hurl her country into war. A follow-up to the Meratis Trilogy, the Cadis Trilogy follows Venn Connell, the sassy, blade-wielding assassin whose sharp tongue and love for adventure get her in no end of trouble. When a simple quest rolls into more action than she expects, the woman who swore never to grow attached to anyone must trust in her friends to overcome old spells, demons, and a magical war that could destroy her world.

She’s too young for me. Too innocent for me. And I’m friends with her father. Oh gosh, and if all those reasons weren’t compelling enough… I promised my late wife that I would never start a family again. But what was I supposed to do when Izzi practically threw herself at me? Take the moral high ground and push her away? I’m a powerful billionaire but I sure as hell didn’t possess the strength to do that. And so, I did what I’d wanted to for years. I devoured her dangerous curves. Yes, I knew that would have its consequences. But I didn’t know how extreme they would be. Like taking her innocence wasn’t scandalous enough… I even got her pregnant. That word itself sends shivers down my spine. I don’t want another child… but I do want Izzi. And this conflict might just be the end of me. Fall in love with this deliciously sinful, kindle melting hot, and forbidden temptation from Sofia T Summers. No cheating or cliffhanger – EVER. All books in this series stand alone and do not have to be read in order.

An analysis of later Stuart economic culture that contributes significantly to our understanding of early modern society. The English economy underwent profound changes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, yet the worldly affairs of ordinary people continued to be shaped as much by traditional ideals and moral codes as by material conditions.This book explores the economic implications of many of the era's key concepts, including Christian stewardship, divine providence, patriarchal power, paternal duty, local community, and collective identity. Brodie Waddell drawson a wide range of contemporary sources - from ballads and pamphlets to pauper petitions and guild regulations - to show that such ideas pervaded every aspect of social and economic relations during this crucial period. Previous discussions of English economic life have tended to ignore or dismiss the influence of cultural factors. By contrast, Waddell argues that popular beliefs about divine will, social duty and communal bonds remained the frame through which most people viewed vital 'earthly' concerns such as food marketing, labour relations, trade policy, poor relief, and many others. This innovative study, demonstrating both the vibrancy and the diversity of the 'moral economies' of the later Stuart period, represents a significant contribution to our understanding of early modern society. It will be essential reading for all early modern British economic and cultural historians. BrodieWaddell is Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He has published on preaching, local government, the landscape and other aspects of early modern society.
