Except once Theresa goes human, everything falls apart. The dangerous badboy she's kinda falling for turns out to be an ex-dragon slayer, her ex-lover from a couple centuries ago is stalking her, and there's a team of active dragon slayers hunting her down. When private detective and reformed dragon slayer Zeke Siccardi realizes that he's inadvertently set two sets of assassins on Theresa's tail, he's determined to make it right, no matter how badly she wants him out of her life. There's no chance for a dragon and a dragon slayer to make a relationship work, right? But when the stakes involve murder, eternal love, and the fate of dragons everywhere, Theresa and Zeke can't afford not to team up. But will their deadly attraction destroy them before they can save Theresa's life and Zeke's soul?

Download or read book Scale written by E. Summerson Carr and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Wherever we turn, we see diverse things scaled for us, from cities to economies, from history to love. We know scale by many names and through many familiar antinomies: local and global,micro and macroevents to name a few. Even the most critical among us often proceed with our analysis as if such scales were the ready-made platforms of social life, rather than asking how, why, and to what effect are scalar distinctions forged in the first place. How do scalar distinctions help actors and analysts alike make sense of and navigate their social worlds? What do these distinctions reveal and what do they conceal? How are scales construed and what effects do they have on the way those who abide by them think and act? This pathbreaking volume attends to the practical labor of scale-making and the communicative practices this labor requires. From an ethnographic perspective, the authors demonstrate that scale is practice and process before it becomes product, whether in the work of projecting the commons, claiming access to the big picture, or scaling the seriousness of a crime.
