Reinhardt Lincke knows she’s dying. She’s spent years planning, quietly amassing an army and followers to lead an insurrection against the throne to avenge her dear father’s death. But it was all for naught—and with her last breath she makes a desperate wish, a plea for another chance at retribution. She awakens and sees her father’s casket. She’s at his funeral, fifteen years prior. Right before Crown Prince Michel will arrive and demand their divorce. She doesn’t know if this is a final gift from her father’s spirit, but she won’t allow this blessing to go to waste. Armed with fifteen years of resentment and her father’s beloved sword, stabbing Michel is as sweet as she could have hoped, but maiming an imperial prince has its consequences. Michel survives, sparing Reinhardt from execution, but she is stripped of her wealth and titles and exiled to the far north, where she will have to begin her scheming anew. Except, another gift presents itself on her journey north: a boy, half-starved and feral—a seemingly paltry offering. Only, Reinhardt knows better. The wild boy would go on to become Michel’s coveted champion knight, ruthless and unmatched. But, this time, she’s found him first. The only revenge sweeter than crippling a prince is stealing his prized hound. But Reinhardt learns that showing a mad dog kindness means he's yours for life, and her new knight will do anything to make her his in return. Volume 2 contains Parts 7 – 9 of the original serialization. You can find subsequent chapters on the Tappytoon app. Enjoy the official webcomic of I Tamed My Ex-husband’s Mad Dog on Tappytoon app.

Was there such a thing as a modern notion of race in the English Renaissance, and, if so, was skin color its necessary marker? In fact, early modern texts described human beings of various national origins—including English—as turning white, brown, tawny, black, green, or red for any number of reasons, from the effects of the sun's rays or imbalance of the bodily humors to sexual desire or the application of makeup. It is in this cultural environment that the seventeenth-century London Gazette used the term "black" to describe both dark-skinned African runaways and dark-haired Britons, such as Scots, who are now unquestioningly conceived of as "white." In Shades of Difference, Sujata Iyengar explores the cultural mythologies of skin color in a period during which colonial expansion and the slave trade introduced Britons to more dark-skinned persons than at any other time in their history. Looking to texts as divergent as sixteenth-century Elizabethan erotic verse, seventeenth-century lyrics, and Restoration prose romances, Iyengar considers the construction of race during the early modern period without oversimplifying the emergence of race as a color-coded classification or a black/white opposition. Rather, "race," embodiment, and skin color are examined in their multiple contexts—historical, geographical, and literary. Iyengar engages works that have not previously been incorporated into discussions of the formation of race, such as Marlowe's "Hero and Leander" and Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis." By rethinking the emerging early modern connections between the notions of race, skin color, and gender, Shades of Difference furthers an ongoing discussion with originality and impeccable scholarship.

Five shapeshifter novels—one fascinating read! Hawksong Danica Shardae, an avian shapeshifter, will do anything in her power to stop the war that has raged between her people and the serpiente—even pretend to be in love with Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, and accept him as her pair bond. But will Zane strike as swiftly and lethally as the cobra that is his second form? Snakecharm A surprising union has brought peace to the avians and serpiente. Soon a child will be born to carry on their royal lines. But Syfka, an ancient falcon, is claiming that one of her people is hidden in the avian and serpiente land. Is Syfka’s lost falcon just a ruse to stir up controversy among them? Falcondance Nicias is a falcon, the son of two exiles from Ahnmik, and images of this distant island have always haunted his dreams. When his visions become more like reality, his parents send him back to the homeland—and a royal falcon—they’ve tried their best to forget. Wolfcry Oliza Shardae Cobriana is heir to Wyvern’s Court, home of the avians and serpiente, whose war with each other ended just before Oliza was born. But hatred is slow to die, and Oliza’s serpiente suitor is found beaten in avian land. How can she be expected to lead a unified society if her people still cannot live peacefully together? Wyvernhail Hai, daughter of a falcon mother and a deceased cobra father, is considered a mongrel by most, an ally by some, and a friend by few. When Hai’s cousin abdicates the throne of Wyvern’s Court, Hai has visions of destruction. Now she will do anything to protect her new home—even if it means betraying the very people who need her most.
