James and Cordelia must save London—and their marriage—in this thrilling and highly anticipated conclusion to the Last Hours series from the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Thorns is a Shadowhunters novel.

Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything that matters to her. In only a few short weeks, she has seen her father murdered, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale crumble before her eyes. Even worse, she is now bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter.

After fleeing to Paris with Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: Tatiana Blackthorn has escaped the Adamant Citadel, and London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial.

The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons.

Nor can her friends help—ripped apart by their own secrets, they seem destined to face what is coming alone.

For time is short, and Belial’s plan is about to crash into the Shadowhunters of London like a deadly wave, one that will separate Cordelia, Lucie, and the Merry Thieves from help of any kind. Left alone in a shadowy London, they must face Belial’s deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city—and their families—they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again.

Criminal Law in South Africa 4e offers a clear, comprehensive and applied explanation of the principles of criminal law in South Africa. This fourth edition text is revised and updated to reflect the extensive developments in South African- and international criminal law during the recent period.

The text addresses the general principles of criminal law, as well as the elements of specific common law crimes and statutory offences. It includes discussion of organised and commercial crime, and international criminal law, as well as a chapter that broadly outlines the South African criminal procedure system. Legal theory is presented in light of the influence of the Bill of Rights, comparative law perspectives, international and transnational law, and the emerging decolonisation debate.

A wealth of discussion points within the text offer critical perspective and analysis of moot and contentious issues. In a critical yet accessible manner, the text considers various developments that affect law reform, for example: constitutional aspects of the disciplinary chastisement of children, consent in the context of sexual offences, youth as a factor in determining criminal capacity, the scope of the crime of public violence, and the impact of cyber criminality on general principles and specific offences.

Designed to support understanding, the text succinctly explains criminal law principles with numerous case illustrations, and balances theoretical depth with a focus on the application of principles. This approach is supported by an annexure that demonstrates a methodology for solving problems in criminal law.

Criminal Law in South Africa 4e serves as core material for courses in criminal law, at the undergraduate level of the LLB programme. Additional teaching presentation and assessment resources are available to support teaching and learning.

By the late 1880s, after more than two centuries of European presence at the Cape, only seven routes led up Table Mountain. Thousands had climbed to the summit, the majority via the gash in the face of the mountain known as Platteklip Gorge, yet vast tracts remained unexplored. Only with the advent of mountaineering in the early 1890s did climbers begin a systematic exploration in their quest for new routes.

Lines of Least Resistance tells the story of Table Mountain through its hiking and scrambling routes. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of the mountain, Riaan Vorster pays tribute to the early pioneers by examining their routes, clearing the sands of time from those which have slipped into oblivion. No two routes are alike; each possesses unique qualities that reveal something of the mountain’s character.

Written from a personal as well as historical perspective, the book takes the reader on a journey of discovery along the highways and byways of Table Mountain.

Maya once saw this cabin as an idyllic place, like a cottage from a fairy tale, but now she knows the danger that lurks beneath. The summer she visited the cabin was the summer her best friend Aubrey died.

Now, another woman from Maya's hometown has died in the same strange, unexplained way, and Maya believes only she can save the next innocent girl.

Guided by her fractured memory and a mysterious, unfinished book by her late father, Maya returns home to face the house in the pines and the man who waits there - the man she's tried so hard to forget . . .
