In this stunning conclusion to the Raven’s Trade duology that began with The Gilded Crown, Hellevir’s bargain with Death to bring the ones she loves back to life – including the princess she risked everything to save – may just lead to the ultimate sacrifice. 

 Hellevir’s gift to raise the dead once thrust her into a dangerous web of court politics where she was bound to protect Princess Sullivain, the sole heir to the kingdom’s throne. But the more Hellevir risked to keep Sullivain alive and the more deeply she fell in love with her, the greater the cost became. Lives can only be granted by the strange figure who rules the afterlife, and there is always a price to pay.

Now, as Sullivain’s hunger for power grows and the threats to her reign become only too real, Hellevir is faced with the choice, either to help the Princess in her fight for the Crown, or stand against her. Cast out to the fringes of a country on the verge of civil war, Hellevir must unravel the last of Death’s riddles and decide, once and for all, who deserves to live, and what a life is worth.

Ashokan Farewell Final

Casa Árabe is hosting a round table discussion on Syria with the participation of Rim Turkmani, a senior researcher at the London School of Economics, Azzam Al Kassir, an expert on security and political Islam, and Dima Moussa, a member of the Syrian Opposition Coalition. 

Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Syria has been dealing with a complex political transition process marked by internal power struggles, the reconstruction of a war-torn state and the influence of multiple international role-players. The lack of centralized leadership has led to a struggle between opposition factions, Islamist groups and local militias, making the country’s stability more difficult. At the geopolitical level, powers such as Russia, Iran, Turkey and the United States have been seeking to secure their interests in the region, either by supporting armed groups or by intervening directly in the reconstruction process. At the same time, the Israeli offensive devastating Gaza has also affected southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights, a strategic Syrian territory under occupation since 1967 and annexed by Israel in 1981. In the meantime, the civilian population continues to suffer the consequences of years of conflict and economic sanctions, enduring a humanitarian crisis that requires a coordinated international efforts to ensure both security and access to basic services, all against a backdrop containing millions of internally displaced persons and refugees attempting to return to a country devastated by years of war. In addition to the state actors involved, there are Kurdish factions, Islamist groups and local resistance organizations playing key roles in shaping the new regime, which has turned Syria into a highly volatile geopolitical chessboard with a yet uncertain future.

The round table discussion will include participation by Rim Turkmani, a principal researcher at the London School of Economics (Legitimacy and Civility in the Arab World), Azzam Al Kassir, an expert on security and political Islam, and Dima Moussa, a member of the Syrian Opposition Coalition. This dialogue has been facilitated by the Arab Association for Constitutional Law (AACL) as part of the seminar which it is organizing in Madrid with the LSE. The event will be introduced by Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s Culture Coordinator.

Syria after Al Assad: where is it headed? Transition and post-war challenges

Once again, we’re revisiting some of the original episodes of the Off Ramp Trivia Podcast recorded during the COVID 19 lock down of 2020. In Episode 040 Lockdown Trivia we asked: What famous writer fought on BOTH sides of the Civil War? And how much perspiration the average person generates in 24-hours?

040 Encore Lockdown Trivia

Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States (1861-65), chose to resist secession and defend the Union against treason because he was the most hardcore American nationalist in history. This song salutes him and his destruction of slavery. Never forget, it was a choice.

Original lyrics by Iron Professor.

The Lost Cause

💥 What if I told you Washington, D.C. nearly fell? That President Lincoln came within inches of an assassin’s bullet—and the Civil War almost ended in disaster? 💣
📚 In his riveting new book, Rebels at the Gates: The Confederacy’s Final Gamble and the Battle to Save Washington, acclaimed historian and author Dr. Robert Watson brings to life a moment in American history few know—but everyone should.
🎧 On this week’s Not Old Better Show, part of the Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, Robert joins us to recount how, in the sweltering summer of 1864, Confederate forces launched a bold and desperate march on the nation’s capital. They got shockingly close. Too close.
➡️ With General Grant locked in siege at Petersburg, and Lincoln politically vulnerable ahead of re-election, a ragged, starving Confederate army made its move. The capital’s defenses were stripped bare. The president refused to flee. The war—our entire nation—hung in the balance.
🔥 This is history with a heartbeat. We talk battlefield blunders, unsung heroes like Lou Wallace (who’d go on to write Ben-Hur), and the fascinating what-ifs of a war that could have ended very differently.
🕯️ As modern images of a threatened Capitol continue to echo through our collective memory, Robert Watson reminds us: you cannot understand America without understanding the Civil War. And this moment? It nearly changed everything.
👂 Don’t miss this thrilling, urgent, and deeply human conversation. It’s not just history—it’s a wake-up call.

The Day Washington Nearly Fell: Robert Watson on the Civil War’s Forgotten Gamble

execution

Four score and seven years ago, there was a great man who made a great beat. He called it the Preamble. This production was made possible by spare time.

Preamble

Civil war

Title: Dilemma
(A Sad Ballad)

(Verse 1)
The road is long, the sky is grey,
Smoke curls high where buildings sway.
A city torn by hate and flame,
She drives through silence, fear unnamed.

(Verse 2)
A broken street, a shattered wall,
Shadows stretch as night will fall.
Then shapes emerge—oh, cruel sight—
Lifeless forms in fading light.

(Chorus)
Her camera weighs heavy in her hand,
A witness to what war has banned.
To show the world or turn away?
The choice will haunt another day.

(Verse 3)
A child lies still upon the stone,
Too young to die, too soon alone.
Her lens reflects his empty stare—
A breath, a pause—does she dare?

(Bridge)
The wind it whispers, cold and low,
"Some truths are hard, but they must show."
Yet in her heart, the question grows—
What does the world need, or just know?

(Final Chorus)
Her fingers tremble, time stands still,
The world moves on—it always will.
The shutter waits… the moment slips…
The camera pressed against her lips.

(Outro - Soft, fading)
The sun sinks low, the shadows rise,
A tear unseen, a silent cry.
The frame unfilled… the shot untold…
And in her hand, the lens stays cold.

Dilemma

Pete Quinones shares his views on America's decline and transition from a unified people to a mere economic zone. He stresses the importance of localism and manufacturing and points to the inevitability of balkanization due to cultural and racial divisions, as well as the fact that the Trump administration won't go after the left who will seek vengeance when they return to power. He also expresses concern about the fragility of the U.S. economy and talks foreign policy.

Pete Quinones: The Balkanization of America #547

Within popular culture, veterans of the Civil War are often depicted as having reconciled in reunions held throughout the nation in the late nineteenth century. Grainy images of Blue and Gray Reunions often show grizzled veterans shaking hands, symbolically pulling the nation back together as the bitter memory of the Civil War faded. Yet how accurate is this portrayal? Join us today for a discussion with a former research fellow who has written a book that reveals why this often-repeated tale of reunion and reconciliation fails to accurately capture how many remembered the Civil War.

Dr. Caroline Janney is the John L. Nau, III, Professor in History at the University of Virginia. She has published 8 books, as well as numerous articles and book chapters. Her most recent monograph: Ends of War: The Unfinished Fight of Lee’s Army After Appomattox won the 2022 Lincoln Prize. We are here to talk with her today about Remembering the Civil War: Reunion and the Limits of Reconciliation (2013). Dr. Janney was a fellow at the Kentucky Historical Society in 2009-10, when she was researching Remembering the Civil War. This book would go on to win the Jefferson Davis Award 	from the American Civil War Museum and the Charles S. Sydnor Award from the Southern Historical Association.

Kentucky Chronicles is inspired by the work of researchers worldwide who have contributed to the scholarly journal, The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, in publication since 1903.
