One hundred and fifty years before the devastation of the Blight, Westhold was a far different world. The Willowgate Empire rules the mainland, but mercenary groups of every size and disposition war in conflicts large and small. Mirabelle Rabideaux of the Sunflowers is one of the many mercenaries to ply her trade, but when two Island Gnome nobles clash over a patch of land in Mira's native Delta, she gets dragged into the most dangerous conflict of her life. And it's not just the physical world she has to contend with either-the war has stirred up the spirits in the Delta, and it falls to Mira to lay them to rest. Little does Mira know that her actions will change Westhold, and her life, forever.

Jeremiah Blade had settled into a quiet retirement on the Gnomish Islands until the day the Grand Duke is killed and a long-forgotten name reappears. Now, it is up to Jeremiah to uncover the terrible truth behind the assassination, and he must travel to the most dangerous land in Westhold to do so. There he will come face-to-face with the greatest threat their world has seen in generations. Jeremiah does not stand alone, however. Together with two powerful forgemates from the Klinkhammer Armory, Jeremiah will confront the true legacy of the catastrophic event that led to the fall of the Willowgate Empire and changed Westhold forever.

The study of twentieth-century Argentine history is undergoing a radical transformation. Both Argentine and U.S. historians of Argentina are recasting the great debates in the historiography by challenging the Buenos Aires-centered focus of most of the existing historical scholarship and offering a new perspective on the country's modern history. Argentina's supposed 'exceptionalism' is being challenged by these historians. The persistence of political clientilism and oligarchic rule, enclave economies and pre-capitalist social relations, the role of traditional institutions such as the Church and family, intense class conflict and working class militancy, all approximate Argentina closer to the Latin American experience than the previous historiography would suggest. This book is a unique collaboration between Argentine and U.S. historians of this 'other Argentina.'
