The region that is today the Republic of Macedonia was long the heart of the Ottoman Empire in Europe. It was home to a complex mix of peoples and faiths who had for hundreds of years lived together in relative peace. To be sure, these people were no strangers to coercive violence and various forms of depredations visited upon them by bandits and state agents. In the final decades of the nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth century, however, the region was periodically racked by bitter conflict that was qualitatively different from previous outbreaks of violence. In Blood Ties, İpek K. Yosmaoğlu explains the origins of this shift from sporadic to systemic and pervasive violence through a social history of the "Macedonian Question." Yosmaoğlu’s account begins in the aftermath of the Congress of Berlin (1878), when a potent combination of zero-sum imperialism, nascent nationalism, and modernizing states set in motion the events that directly contributed to the outbreak of World War I and had consequences that reverberate to this day. Focusing on the experience of the inhabitants of Ottoman Macedonia during this period, Yosmaoğlu shows how communal solidarities broke down, time and space were rationalized, and the immutable form of the nation and national identity replaced polyglot, fluid associations that had formerly defined people’s sense of collective belonging. The region was remapped; populations were counted and relocated. An escalation in symbolic and physical violence followed, and it was through this process that nationalism became an ideology of mass mobilization among the common folk. Yosmaoğlu argues that national differentiation was a consequence, and not the cause, of violent conflict in Ottoman Macedonia.

Family is everything... I always knew my father was a cold, heartless bastard. But the moment he took Elle Castlemaine and her pathetic daughter into our home, barely a month after our mom died, he unleashed something savage inside me. I didn't care they lost their home. Didn't care their father was behind bars. Didn't care he betrayed the notorious Stidda Mafia boss, Benjamin Rossi, and now their lives were in danger. All I cared about was her. Ryth. I wanted to hurt her. Wanted to make her squirm. I wanted to make her pay for the moans coming from my father's bedroom. When he slipped a ring onto her mother's finger, Ryth became mine. Mine to bully. Mine to break. And I'll use my brothers to do it. She'll become our favorite obsession. Our sick, tormented game. She'll become the only thing I think about, until not thinking about her tears me apart. I'll hate her. I'll hate her so much it hurts...

What if the myths about vampires had a real origin? Legacy (blood Bond, #1) Ivan could not have known that one day the strange family inheritance would knock at his door and that, what he believed to be his grandfather's ravings, contained a bond beyond blood, beyond family, beyond time. What to do with a legacy in the form of an ancestor more than 3,000 years old? Velkan woke up in a new century, in a new society, with a new family, but with the same bloodlust, an instinct that kept him alive since he was born and that even Van Helsing could not defeat. Tired of seeing how all his life they had killed and desecrated the bodies of his family because of his nature, tired of the struggles for his protection, unable to see himself loved and fed up of being called a monster, strigoi, vampire or dracul, he decided to put an end to his existence, without getting it. When Velkan and Ivan meet, something more than the inherited family bond is created between them and they begin to trust each other. Velkan will tell you about his time in history by telling you about the age of metals in which he was born, about Vlad III, the Impaler, and will show you what really happened in London in the years of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Will Velkan finally be able to find his place? Can he stop them from thinking he's a vampire? An original and different revision of the legends of vampires, the folklore that exists about them and archaeology, a twist on the myth that will surprise you.

When an ER doctor turns vampire, she is irresistibly drawn to her ruthless sire in this sexy horror series debut: a “fast, furious . . . squirm-inducing treat” (Publishers Weekly). I’m no coward. But after my life turned into a horror movie, I take fear a lot more seriously. I finally became Dr. Carrie Ames just eight months ago. Then I was attacked in the hospital morgue by a vampire. So now I’m a vampire—with an unbreakable blood tie to the monster who sired me. The tie works like an invisible leash, binding me to one of the most depraved vampires on earth. While he’s hell-bent on turning me into a soulless killer, his sworn enemy is determined to exterminate me. Things couldn’t get much worse—except that I’m achingly attracted to them both. Drinking blood, living as an immortal demon and being a pawn between two warring vampire factions isn’t exactly how I’d imagined my future. But as my father used to say, the only way to conquer fear is to face it. So that’s what I’ll do. Fangs bared.

Being a vampire is a life-or-death situation. When I was first turned, I had only my survival to worry about. Now I'm locked in a battle for the existence of the entire human race--and the cards are definitely stacked against me. The Voluntary Vampire Extinction Movement headquarters are destroyed, and their pet horror, the Oracle, is on the loose. She'll stop at nothing to turn the world into a vampire's paradise, even if it means helping the Soul Eater become a god and harnessing his power for her own evil ends. An ancient vampire, a blood-sucking near deity and oh, yeah, my presently human former sire thrown into the mix. I say bring it on. May the best monster win.
