Winner of the 2007 Gradiva Award and the 2006 Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic Scholarship The definitive biography of one of the most engaging figures of British psychoanalysis. Both gifted analyst and generational bete noire, M. Masud R. Khan (1924–1989) exposed through his candor and scandalous behavior the bigotry of his proponents turned detractors. The son of a wealthy landowner in rural India (now Pakistan), Khan grew up in a world of privilege that was radically different from the Western lifestyle he would adopt after moving to London. Notorious for his flamboyant personality and, at first, widely acknowledged as a brilliant clinician, Khan was closely connected to some of the most creative and accomplished individuals of his time, including Donald Woods Winnicott, Anna Freud, Robert Stoller, Michael Redgrave, Julie Andrews, Rudolph Nureyev, and many more. Khan's subsequent downfall, which is powerfully narrated in this biography, offers interesting insights not only into Khan's psychic fragility but into the world of intrigues and deceptions pervasive in the psychoanalytic community of the time. In telling the story of this provocative man, Linda Hopkins makes use of unprecedented access to a complete copy of Khan's unpublished Work Books, which are quoted extensively. Additionally, she conducted innumerable interviews with Khan's peers, relatives, and analysands in order to provide an in-depth and balanced account of Masud Khan as a talented and deeply conflicted individual.

They've been tied together by fate, but while she will do whatever she can to bring peace to Valoria, his mission is to destroy it. Lady Snowlark is determined to do what she can to avert civil war in Valoria while at the same time, destroying the Ancient that threatens them all. When Prince Valiant suggests that they work together to achieve that goal, Lark agrees. But marrying the prince has set her squarely in the sights of an unstable king, and when new challenges arise, they come from within her own inner circle. Vengeance has given up trying to destroy Lark; they are joined in ways he cannot explain and destroying her would destroy him as well. Acknowledging his feelings for Lark does not negate his allegiance to the Ancient, however. A choice lies before him, but with his humanity all but gone, what chance does a beast possibly have for happiness? The final installment of the Shadowlands trilogy, New Star Rising is a tale of overcoming unbeatable odds and finding the courage to face one's destiny.
