A veil of spears
Since the Night of Endless Swords, a bloody battle the Kings of Sharakhai narrowly won, the kings have been hounding the rebels known as the Moonless Host. Many have been forced to flee the city, including Çeda, who discovers that the King of Sloth is raising his army to challenge the other kings' rule. When Çeda finds the remaining members of the Moonless Host, now known as the thirteenth tribe, she sees a tenuous existence. Çeda hatches a plan to return to Sharakhai and free the asirim, the kings' powerful, immortal slaves. The kings, however, have sent their greatest tactician, the King of Swords, to bring Çeda to justice for her crimes. But the once-unified front of the kings is crumbling. The surviving kings vie quietly against one another, maneuvering for control over Sharakhai. Çeda hopes to use that to her advantage, but whom to trust? Any of them might betray her. As Çeda works to lift the shackles from the asirim and save the thirteenth tribe, the kings of Sharakhai, the scheming queen of Qaimir, the ruthless blood mage, Hamzakiir, and King of Swords all prepare for a grand clash that may decide the fate of all.

Rent Flesh and the Social Fabric: Poetics of the Wound in Puerto Rico's Turbulent 1950s
This article examines the representations of wounds in political and literary texts from the early 1950s, when Puerto Rico participated in the Korean War. Beginning with a number of Governor Luis Munoz Marin's speeches that present a triumphalist narrative of soldiers' wounds, the work then pivots to short stories by Jose Luis Gonzalez and Emilio Diaz Valcarcel that lay bare the colonial dynamics of injured flesh. Finally, the article explores a collection of poems regarding the Nationalist uprising of 1950 written by Francisco Matos Paoli, who elaborates a mystic bodily sacrifice with which to found a divine patria. These clashing portrayals of wounds entail diverse subjectivities, languages of sacrifice, and futures for the island, especially with respect to its relationship with the United States. As such, they served as a significant discursive nucleus of Puerto Rico's political and cultural debates in the early years of the Cold War.
