On the poisonous world of Ko, the U’tanse—a breed of psychically gifted humans—struggle to find their destiny under the brutal control of their Cerik overlords. Life or death was at the whim of their masters’ claws. Joshua was the first freeborn U’tanse, born to Cyclops, a blinded worker, and Debbie, a Festival girl, at a hidden refuge composed of slaves discarded to die by their masters. Joshua’s first assignment as part of the group’s network of free telepathic spies was to monitor Samson, a U’tanse warrior bred to be a giant, strong enough to fight alongside the predatory Cerik, and deeply loyal to his master, Elehadi, the most powerful of the ruling Cerik Names. But when Elehadi decided to eliminate a whole colony of the U’tanse, Joshua discovered his job had become a lot more hazardous than just monitoring the giant’s thoughts from their secret refuge. This branch of the Project Saga reveals the struggles of a splinter of humanity, making their way on a world that could never be their own.

This book examines opposition to the Council of Europe’s Istanbul Convention and its consequences for the politics of violence against women in four countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Krizsán and Roggeband discuss why and how successful anti-gender mobilizations managed to obstruct ratification of the Convention or push for withdrawal from it. They show how resistance to the Convention significantly redraws debates on violence against women and has consequences for policies, women’s rights advocacy, and gender-equal democracy.

A fisherman caught a golden fish. And you know what follows. The golden fish gave one wish to the fisherman in return for him letting her go. And so he did. He wished for a castle and he got it. The only thing he could not do was to say where he got his fortune from. But he did not keep his promise and the castle disappeared. He caught the fish again. He got a new wish and he broke the promise one more time. He caught the fish a third time. And he was not granted a wish. Instead the fish asked him to take her home and cut her into six pieces. A great and unbelievable magic followed after that. But you have to read "The Gold-Children" to find out what it is.
