Book Description

"Breakneck in pace and breathtaking in prose," Rose Amber Reviews calls Fires of Qaf "A stunning new fantasy series." Ayelet is desperate for connection. After fifteen years wretchedly alone and on the run from the faceless tormentor of her childhood, street musician Ayelet is willing to risk anything to reconnect with her first love--even if it means getting caught by her former slave master. At least, she thinks she is until she runs into the diamond eyes and cold smile of a handsomely devilish djinn prince. Forced together by giant lava monsters and raging ghouls, the last thing Prince Jahmil needs is a coquettish human woman to slow him down and play games with his mind. He has a kingdom to save and a rival to destroy and getting rid of her should be all too easy--until he hears the magic in her music. Half convinced she is his mate and equally convinced she is his doom, Jahmil must decide what's most important: his kingdom or his heart. Unfortunately, the Faceless Man will not be forgotten and this dangerous alliance might be the only way out for both of them, if it doesn’t get them killed first. ***This is a clean, sweet romance that takes place in magical, medieval Turkey.*** If you love A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Cruel Prince you'll love the Fires of Qaf!

Book Description

This book examines the engagement between the United Nations’ human rights machinery and the respective governments since Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) joined the United Nations. Sri Lanka has a long and rich history of engagement with international human rights instruments. However, despite its active membership in the UN, the country’s post-colonial trials and tribulations are emblematic of the limited influence the international organisation has exerted on this country in the Global South. Assessing the impact of this international engagement on the country’s human rights infrastructure and situation, the book outlines Sri Lanka’s colonial and post-colonial development. It then considers the development of a domestic human rights infrastructure in the country. It also examines and analyzes Sri Lanka’s engagement with the UN’s treaty-based and charter-based human rights bodies, before offering conclusions concerning the impact of said engagement. The book offers an innovative approach to gauging the impact of international human rights engagement, while also taking into account the colonial and post-colonial imperatives that have partly dictated governmental behaviour. By doing so, the book seeks to combine and analyse international human rights law, post-colonial critique, studies on biopower, and critical approaches to international law. It will be a useful resource not only for scholars of international law, but also for practitioners and activists working in this area.
