Jade McClaren used to be a cat burglar out for no one except herself and her sister, but now she’s part of something bigger. She’s a Fae Knight, one of the few tasked with policing the supernatural elements in post-Fae-rival New York City. Teamed up with a handsome Fae Knight named Davril Stormguard, she must investigate magical crimes, some of which she used to commit. The imp Federico has gone missing, and only Jade and Davril can get him back. They have to hurry, though. The evil witch Angela has kidnapped the little rascal for her own purposes, and whatever those are, they can't be good. She wants to destroy the Fae and bring the great evil known as the Shadow to our world. As if this weren’t bad enough, Jade and Davril are having a hard time working together. He’s a Fae cop and she’s a human thief, and those two things just don’t mix. Can Jade and Davril work out their own problems in time to save Federico and stop Angela? Dragon Knight is the second book of the Reclaiming the Fire New Adult Urban Fantasy series, but it can be read as a standalone. This is a full-sized book full of magic, action and romance, perfect for readers of Patricia Briggs or Charlaine Harris.

Winner of the Jules and Frances Landry Award Historians have long considered the diary of William Johnson, a wealthy free Black barber in Natchez, Mississippi, to be among the most significant sources on free African Americans living in the antebellum South. Timothy R. Buckner’s The Barber of Natchez Reconsidered reexamines Johnson’s life using recent scholarship on Black masculinity as an essential lens, demonstrating a complexity to Johnson previously overlooked in academic studies. While Johnson’s profession as a barber helped him gain acceptance and respectability, it also required his subservience to the needs of his all-white clientele. Buckner’s research counters earlier assumptions that suggested Johnson held himself apart from Natchez’s Black population, revealing instead a man balanced between deep connections to the broader African American community and the necessity to cater to white patrons for economic and social survival. Buckner also highlights Johnson’s participation in the southern performance of manliness to a degree rarely seen in recent studies of Black masculinity. Like many other free Black men, Johnson asserted his manhood in ways beyond simply rebelling against slavery; he also competed with other men, white and Black, free and enslaved, in various masculine pursuits, including gambling, hunting, and fishing. Buckner’s long-overdue reevaluation of the contents of Johnson’s diary serves as a corrective to earlier works and a fascinating new account of a free African American business owner residing in the prewar South.
