The old world is dead and bloated. And in its remains, humanity struggles through its final death throes.The Deep, a corrupting, unstoppable darkness, slithers past ancient borders, killing all in its wake. And Wes-Seeker, Runesmith, and madman-scrambles to stop it. Even if it means gunning through countless scores of fools standing in the way. And in the city of Kesan, where the honorable rot in undug graves and the living hold the shovels, there's plenty of fools in Wes's bloody warpath.Cia, his partner and ex-slave, wants nothing more than to be free of her Deep-touched sorcery. Trouble is, Kesan's most powerful keep trying to get them killed. And being a conduit for life itself is awfully convenient for staying alive.Oben, a man better than most, has spent the last few years trying to forget the sins he's left behind in Kesan. But Wes's schemes are bringing him back. And even a past as buried as his is bound to get dug up eventually.Old grudges burn and new plots hatch as the three outcasts struggle to do more than just survive in a world that wants them very, very dead.

A dark future. A dying world.And only the mad to save it.Cia is on the verge of death from drawing on the Deep, and Wes can do nothing but watch. A new darkness festers in his mind as their pursuers close in. Desperate and isolated, Wes will do whatever it takes to keep Cia safe. To keep the very future of humanity safe.Bleeding out in the woods isn't what Oben had in mind when he left the others. No, he's in search of something worth living for, leaving his past of living by the blade behind for good. But The Red is back, and the truth is, you simply can't escape yourself.Bard and enemy of nearly all of Kesan, Simone Roux, risks the unforgiving road north to get the freedom she's always wanted. But blizzards, starvation, and rough men with pointy sticks aren't often persuaded by well-told poems. Oh well, nothing worth taking ever comes cheap, after all.

Laid back, sun-drenched tropical paradise, or hotbed of drug-related crime and violence? Neither stereotype is true. Jamaica suffers from a PR problem, created largely by tabloid headlines written thousands of miles away. The reality is more complex and more fascinating. Despite its small size, Jamaica punches above its weight. Its footprints in sport and music are, like its people, larger than life. It is one of the few countries to have its own soundtrack- mento, ska, and reggae are popular around the world. The University of the West Indies campus at Mona is a regional source of excellence. Jamaicans have a fire that has been hard to douse. It was burning when their forefathers arrived on slave ships, barely alive after the middle passage, and it was there when they fought the British to a standstill in the Maroon Wars. In the English-speaking Caribbean they have a reputation for being brash, but the Jamaicans have a warmth that is unmatched. They are unafraid to talk to strangers, they'll laugh at nearly anything, they'll discuss and debate with passion, and they'll let you know it straight. Despite real economic and social problems, this beautiful and invigorating country regularly ranks among the top five happiest nations in the world in the annual Happy Planet Index. Culture Smart! Jamaica takes you beyond the clichés with a fresh, uniquely well-informed look at of one of the most intriguing countries in the region.
