Book Description

This revised and expanded edition of the classic 1999 edited book includes all the chapters from the original volume plus a new, updated, introduction and several new chapters. The current book is an up-to-date review of research into Mycenaean palatial systems with chapters by archaeologists and Linear B specialists that will be useful to scholars, instructors, and advanced students. This book aims to define more accurately the term "palace" in light of both recent archaeological research in the Aegean and current anthropological thinking on the structure and origin of early states. Regional centers do not exist as independent entities. They articulate with more extensive sociopolitical systems. The concept of palace needs to be incorporated into enhanced models of Mycenaean state organization, ones that more completely integrate primary centers with networks of regional settlement and economy.

He’s lost his royal title. She’s lost her family’s fortune. Can a gamble on each other pay off? He’s a dead man walking. After three hundred years in the underworld, dragon shifter Marius must face a world that has moved on without him. Haunted by nightmares about the horrors he endured, he’s desperate for distraction. He finds relief in the exhaustion that comes when fellow dragon shifter Harlow, the alluring daughter of a washed-up Paragonian aristocrat, agrees to train him to fight. She’s flirting with danger. Life as Harlow knew it is over. Her family was lucky to escape execution for their former support of overthrown tyrant Empress Eleanor. Now she’s just thankful to be alive and that her keen talent for pit fighting has earned her a job training Marius. The money is the only thing keeping her family afloat, but growing close to Marius could be hazardous to her health. Together they’ll battle ghosts of seasons past. When echoes from his time in the underworld pull Marius back into the violent domain of the dead, can Harlow help him break his ties to the past before death reclaims what it lost?
