A collection of all ten Ghosts of the Shadow Market stories about characters from Cassandra Clare's internationally bestselling Shadowhunters series.
The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks and vampires. There, the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains and whisper secrets they do not want the Nephilim to know. Through two centuries, however, there has been a frequent visitor to the Shadow Market from the City of Bones, the very heart of the Shadowhunters. As a Silent Brother, Brother Zachariah is sworn keeper of the laws and lore of the Nephilim. But once he was a Shadowhunter called Jem Carstairs, and his love, then and always, is the warlock Tessa Gray.
Follow Brother Zachariah and see, against the backdrop of the Shadow Market’s dark dealing and festival, Anna Lightwood’s doomed romance, Matthew Fairchild’s great sin and Tessa Gray plunged into a world war. Valentine Morgenstern buys a soul at the Market and a young Jace Wayland finds safe harbour. In the Market is hidden a lost heir and a beloved ghost, and no one can save you once you have traded away your heart. Not even Brother Zachariah.
The series features characters from Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Dark Artifices and the upcoming Last Hours series.
York explores the archaeology, art, architecture and cultural
heritage of the city in the late Middle Ages. In the years since
the resurrection of the British Archaeological Association
conference in 1976, the association has met in the city only once
(in 1988), for a conference that celebrated Yorkshire Monasticism.
As a consequence, the secular and vernacular architecture as well
as the architecture, art and imagery of York Minster were excluded
from its scope, something redressed in the meeting that took place
in 2017. As many recent publications have focused on York in the
earlier medieval period, this book shines a much-needed light on
the city in the later medieval ages. Starting with a range of
essays on York Minster by authors directly involved in major
conservation projects undertaken in the last ten years, the book
also includes information on the vernacular architecture and
transport infrastructure of York, as well as the parochial and
material culture of the period. Illuminating the extensive
resources for the study of the late Middle Ages in England's second
capital, this book provides new research on this important city and
will be suitable for researchers in medieval archaeology, art
history, literature and material culture.

The boys of Kings Row bout with drama, rivalry, and romance in this
original YA novel by The New York Times bestselling author Sarah
Rees Brennan--inspired by the award-nominated comic series by C.S.
Pacat and Johanna The Mad. Sixteen-year-old Nicholas Cox is the
illegitimate son of a retired fencing champion who dreams of
getting the proper training he could never afford. After earning a
place on the elite Kings Row fencing team, Nicholas must prove
himself to his rival, Seiji Katayma, and navigate the clashes,
friendships, and relationships between his teammates on the road to
state championships--where Nicholas might finally have the chance
to spar with his golden-boy half-brother. Coach Williams decides to
take advantage of the boys' morale after a recent victory and
assigns them a course of team building exercises to further deepen
their bonds. It takes a shoplifting scandal, a couple of moonlit
forest strolls, several hilariously bad dates, and a whole lot of
introspection for the team to realize they are stronger together
than they could ever be apart. The first installment of this
enticing original YA novel series by Sarah Rees Brennan, rich with
casual diversity and queer self-discovery, explores
never-before-seen drama inspired by C.S. Pacat's critically
acclaimed Fence comic series and boasts original cover and interior
art by Johanna The Mad. Text and Illustration copyright: © 2020

The shocking massacre of the Jews in York, 1190, is here
re-examined in its historical context along with the circumstances
and processes through which Christian and Jewish neighbours became
enemies and victims. The mass suicide and murder of the men, women
and children of the Jewish community in York on 16 March 1190 is
one of the most scarring events in the history of Anglo-Judaism,
and an aspect of England's medieval past which is widely remembered
around the world. However, the York massacre was in fact only one
of a series of attacks on communities of Jews across England in
1189-90; they were violent expressions of wider new constructs of
the nature of Christian and Jewish communities, and the targeted
outcries of local townspeople, whose emerging urban politics were
enmeshed within the swiftly developing structures of royal
government. This new collection considers the massacreas central to
the narrative of English and Jewish history around 1200. Its
chapters broaden the contexts within which the narrative is usually
considered and explore how a narrative of events in 1190 was built
up, both at the timeand in following years. They also focus on two
main strands: the role of narrative in shaping events and their
subsequent perception; and the degree of convivencia between Jews
and Christians and consideration of the circumstances and processes
through which neighbours became enemies and victims. Sarah Rees

Hugo & Locus award finalist In Other Lands is an exhilarating
novel from bestselling author Sarah Rees Brennan about surviving
four years in the most unusual of schools - friendship, falling in
love, diplomacy, and finding your own place in the world - even if
it means giving up your phone. Excerpt: The Borderlands aren't like
anywhere else. Don't try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of
technology over the wall that marks the Border - unless you enjoy a
fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.)
There are elves, harpies, and - best of all as far as Elliot is
concerned - mermaids. "What's your name?" "Serene." "Serena?"
Elliot asked. "Serene," said Serene. "My full name is
Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle." Elliot's mouth fell open.
"That is badass." Elliot? Who's Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years
old. He's smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than
a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a
wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to
school in the Borderlands. It turns out that on the other side of
the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training
and fewer mermaids than he expected. On the other hand, there's
Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more
beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there's her
human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. There are
lots of interesting books. There's even the chance Elliot might be
able to change the world.
Fascinating connections exist between group theory and automata
theory, and a wide variety of them are discussed in this text.
Automata can be used in group theory to encode complexity, to
represent aspects of underlying geometry on a space on which a
group acts, and to provide efficient algorithms for practical
computation. There are also many applications in geometric group
theory. The authors provide background material in each of these
related areas, as well as exploring the connections along a number
of strands that lead to the forefront of current research in
geometric group theory. Examples studied in detail include
hyperbolic groups, Euclidean groups, braid groups, Coxeter groups,
Artin groups, and automata groups such as the Grigorchuk group.
This book will be a convenient reference point for established
mathematicians who need to understand background material for
applications, and can serve as a textbook for research students in
(geometric) group theory.

This collection of essays was presented to Barrie Dobson in
celebration of his 70th birthday. It will be welcomed by all
scholars of pre-modern religion and society. Spanning the
artificial divide between medieval and early modern, the
contributors - all acknowledged experts in their field - pursue the
ways in which men and women tried to put their ideals into
practice, sometimes alone, but more commonly in the shared
environment of cloister, college or city. The range of topics is
testimony to the breadth of Barrie Dobson's own interests, but even
more striking are the continuities and shared assumptions across
time, and between the dissident and the impeccably orthodox. Taking
the reader from a rural anchor-hold to the London of Thomas More,
and from the greenwood of Robin Hood to the central law courts,
this collection builds into a richly satisfying exploration of the
search for perfection in an imperfect world.

In this second book in the Lynburn Legacy, the sorcerous roots of
Sorry-in-the-Vale have been exposed. Now no one in the town is
safe, and everyone has to choose sides. Will the townspeople
(magical and not) become "owned" by the sorcerers who believe it is
their right to rule? Or will it continue in a more modern vein,
with the presence of the sorcerers playing a quieter--and much less
violent--role. If Kami Glass has anything to say about it, evil
will not win. Despite having given up her own piece of magic, she
is determined to do everything she can to make a difference. And
whether they want to or not, her circle of friends (and potential
boyfriends) will not be able to help but follow her and go along
with her unusual schemes and battle tactics.
Half-witch, half-mortal 16-year-old Sabrina Spellman has made her
choice: She's embraced her witchy roots, and her power is growing
daily. But will it come at too high a price? It's not easy being
half-mortal, half-witch. At least, not for Sabrina Spellman. She
just discovered that her dad is Satan... and that it's her destiny
to rule Hell. As usual, Sabrina's got other plans for her future.
She's figured out a way to trap her father... but he's caged in the
body of her boyfriend, Nick Scratch. Now the love of her life is
stuck in Hell... with Satan stuck inside him.Sabrina knows there's
a way to get Nick back while also keeping dear old dad out of
commission. She just has to figure out what it is. Unfortunately,
her loyal cousin Ambrose is unavailable because he's off hunting
Father Blackwood, the evil former head of the Church of
Night.Fortunately, Sabrina's still got her mortal friends, Roz,
Harvey, and Theo. So when her aunt Zelda, now the church's high
priestess, mentions an ancient quest that might help open the gates
of Hell, Sabrina and her friends are all in. But Zelda failed to
mention that the quest has some perils of its own...
