Kingdom of Deception
Centuries have passed since God turned His back on humanity, converting Earth into a hellish wasteland for angels that displeased him. The great Angelic Exodus set Fallen Angels free to roam and ravage the remnants of civilization, enslaving the weak and ruling with an iron fist. Among the shadows of despair, a few emerged as tyrants, the Hallowed Fallen, reigning over a broken world.
From the ashes of this despair rises Amara Ashenfall, sired by one of the very angels responsible for humanity's torment. When she is summoned into The Crucible- a harrowing rite of passage that all sired children must endure-her fate hangs in the balance. Thrust into the heart of the sinister Sanctum Metere, Amara faces a nightmarish transformation into a Nephilim, and indoctrination into the ranks of soldiers who serve the Hallowed Fallen.
As the brutal trials of The Crucible unfold, Amara finds herself ensnared in a web of violence, betrayal, and intrigue.It is here that she captures the cold, contemptuous gaze of her enigmatic instructor-an arrogant, mysterious man whose disdain for her burns as fiercely as her own hidden desire. together, they are engulfed in a tempest of conflicting loyalties and forbidden passions, each moment a haunting dance on the edge of life and death as she searches for truths he keeps hidden.
In a world where every choice could lead to salvation or death, Amara's world unfolds before her, truth becoming an ever shifting kaleidoscope. Will she rise to claim her destiny, or will fate spell the end of everything she holds dear? In this epic clash of wills, love and vengeance collide, and the line between hero and monster blurs into a gripping tale of survival against insurmountable odds.

Sold outPalestine and Feminist Liberation
How can we explain that Israel, despite its genocidal attacks in Gaza and its violation of international law, remains immune to criticism? Why do many feminists in the Global North, so quick to denounce the impact of "Islamic fundamentalism" on Palestinian women, remain silent when it comes to decrying the gendered impact of Israeli apartheid in Palestine? In Palestine and Feminist Liberation, Palestinian scholar-activist Nada Elia argues that Palestinian women, far from being powerless and submissive, have long played an important role in resisting their people's dispossession, first by the British Mandate, then by Israel. Elia discusses the challenges diaspora Palestinian feminists face when organizing on Turtle Island, where the dominant discourse has long upheld the Zionist narrative, steeped in Orientalism and anti-Palestinian racism. She articulates a vision for liberation grounded in Indigenous feminism, with its focus on collective empowerment, rather than individual advancement.Sold out -
