Alexandria Grace Groaban finally has an answer to the question that plagued her throughout her childhood and young adult life: Why is she different than anyone else she knows? After coming home to Oxford for Christmas, and suffering a near fatal attack at the hands of Bertrand, she has come to learn that she contains within her, the soul of the oldest and most powerful of the Lord’s Nephilim. And her journey to Aeoferth Hall and Elysium has only just scratched the surface for what is to come. Alex must now push herself past the bounds of what they all think her mortal body can withstand, to find the answer that the Nephilim have wanted as well: How did Arianna perish? In order to protect her loved ones, both mortal and immortal, she will need every detail she can gather to save them all in time. And she must face the warning Ganymede gave her after the last attack on Aeoferth: that her time as a mortal is rapidly running short. Together, with Gaius, Jack, and the other Nephilim, Alexandria will embark on an exciting quest for answers concerning Kronis. And together, they will journey far away from England to help her learn if an immortal life is the correct choice for her, in this thrilling second volume in the Children of Angels series: Immortal Reborn: Alexandria’s Choice.
When Alexandria Grace Groaban was a child, she learned she was very different from other children and adults she encountered. She saw and heard things that no child should ever bear witness to. She knew details of things and people long since passed, and she could hear voices and repeat them in whatever language she heard during the scenes which played out before her young and impressionable eyes. Through an encounter with someone she thought to be her guardian angel, Alexandria was given a reprieve so that she might know some normalcy in her childhood. But at the age of twenty-one, Alexandria returned home to her family’s small estate outside Oxford, England for Christmas, and learned the hard way that her grace period was about to come to an abrupt and vicious end. Now, whether for better or worse, she will find herself on the edge of a great precipice. One that will call her into action and into a world that she could never have fathomed existed. For Alexandria to know who and what she truly is, she will have to rise to the challenge of a battle that has been waged for millennia by beings first spoken of in Genesis, and embrace that which has lay dormant within her since she was a child.
Sometimes, the right choices are the most difficult to navigate. For Alexandria, coming to terms with the immortal life she has agreed to embrace, while still holding on to herself, will call on all the internal and physical strength she has. Though her angelic father, Ganymede, intends for her to ease into the new body and life that has been created for her, his Fallen brother, Rangor, has other plans. And Alex has plans for Kronis as well. Plans that call for him to have one last chance to turn away from the life of sin and hate that his father cultivated in him for millennia. In a bid for peace, and in the hope to keep Alexandria alive, the Nephilim of the Light will have to charge ahead on a quest to find Kronis, before he and his father come for Alex again. And through the great struggles and battles to come, Alex must also decide to whom she will give her heart: Gaius or Jackson. Both so dear and precious to her, yet only one can truly lay claim to her heart as her husband. She will search her very soul to discover the one whom it cries out for, amidst the great danger swirling around all those she loves. Join Alexandria and her loved ones in this breathtaking third volume in the Children of Angels series: Immortal Reborn: Choices of the Heart.
With 29 percent of all trips made by bicycle, Copenhagen is considered a model of green transport. This book considers the underlying political conditions that enabled cycling to appeal to such a wide range of citizens in Copenhagen and asks how this can be replicated elsewhere. Despite Copenhagen’s global reputation, its success has been a result of a long political struggle and is far from completely secure. Car use in Denmark is increasing, including in Copenhagen's suburbs, and new developments in Copenhagen include more parking for cars. There is a political tension in Copenhagen over the spaces for cycling, the car, and public transit. In considering examples of backlashes and conflicts over street space in Copenhagen, this book argues that the kinds of debates happening in Copenhagen are very similar to the debates regularly occurring in cities throughout the world. This makes Copenhagen more, not less, comparable to many cities around the world, including cities in the United States. This book will appeal to upper-level undergraduates and graduates in urban geography, city planning, transportation, environmental studies, as well as transportation advocates, urban policy-makers, and anyone concerned about climate change and looking to identify paths forward in their own cities and localities.
Area B, in the southeastern part of the Bronze Age town of Ayia Irini, Kea, preserves evidence for human activity from the mid-Early Bronze Age to the mid-Late Bronze Age, or Periods III-VII in the parlance of the site. This volume summarizes the results of excavation in the area and provides an overview of the stratigraphy, architecture, and artifacts found in it. Owing to its status as one of the best-excavated and best-documented sectors of the site, Area B also provides an excellent opportunity to consider diachronic changes in the ceramic assemblage through time. Analysis of macroscopic and petrographic fabrics and evaluation of how fabric, ware, and shape categories intersect enables a detailed, diachronic study of changes in pottery production, trade, and consumption patterns at the site in view of broader shifts in Aegean economy and society.

Alexandria has made it through the constant battles the demon Rangor threw her way, as well as ended all the dark immortals he sent into her life to destroy her. She has fought her body as it threatened to fail her and she has chosen her new path in life. As the leader of all the Lord’s Nephilim, Alexandria is poised to bring about great works, all while holding the demons and their children at bay. And with her new husband at her side, she is ready to learn what the future has in store for her, now that peace has returned to their lives. But choosing an immortal life and living it are two entirely different things. And now that the battles have ended, Alexandria will come to learn that finding her way will come with its own unique set of challenges. For the day will come when she looks twenty-one far longer than she should, and that could spell danger for her mortal family and all her immortal brethren. Come with Gaius, Jack, the Groabans, and the Nephilim as they all help Alex blossom into the new life she’s chosen. And see how making a choice for the safety and good of others, can mean great personal sacrifice.
A perfect storm – that is what the Fallen and their children called it, and what they have been patiently waiting and watching for where Alexandria Grace Marcus is concerned. Through all her trials and tribulations as she returned to the Lord’s Nephilim, the dark ones have anticipated such a period in Alex’s life. Banked on it, in fact. A time during which they might seize advantage and make it count in their favor – not the Lord’s. Even Alex’s dear friend Jackson Campbell sees the coming dark tide. And his observation, that the generals don’t march until the foot soldiers have already advanced across the field, resonates deeply with Alex and her brethren. For they feel the shift in the struggle between good and evil just as she does. Something more is looming over the horizon and something, somewhere, is very wrong. Now, Alexandria and Gaius must join forces with their angelic fathers and fellow Nephilim in ways they have never imagined before, to not only hold back the encroaching tide of evil, but also defeat it. Mankind is counting on their bravery, as well as a new immortal compatriot whom Alex will befriend in startling new ways for both sides – proving, once again, that good will always triumph over evil.
Living an immortal life does not make one immune to pain or strife, not even the Nephilim of the Lord. For such a long existence gives one time to experience the utter highs and devastating lows all souls endure, whether they are given one hundred years or five thousand. It is a truth all Nephilim acknowledge and accept – especially Rohan. For the last thirteen hundred years, Rohan has guarded his heart with a firm resolve that has kept him from ever knowing hurt again. But that same resolve has kept him alone, as well. When a surprise attack on one of his fellow immortals brings Rohan’s heart out from the cold shell he has locked it away in, he must decide if he will let old wounds and loss keep him from experiencing the potential of a new love and partnership – the likes of which he has never allowed himself to consider – or if he will retain his solitary existence. As the danger mounts and hidden plots are uncovered in the eternal struggle between the Light and the darkness, Rohan will be forced to make a personal choice and take a stand for a fellow Nephilim. One who has captivated him and caused Rohan to question his decision to never give his heart to another, ever again.
