#1 Essence bestselling author K’Wan returns with The Diamond Empire, the explosive, hard-hitting follow-up novel to the street love story Diamonds and Pearl. It’s about to be an all-out war. While an ambitious rival has taken over Diamonds’s crew, Diamonds lies in wait in exile, carefully planning his next move to comeback and reclaim his position as king of the streets of New York for good. But when an unexpected enemy from the past one-ups Diamonds and beats him at his own game, Diamonds needs to dig deep into his bag of tricks—and make an unlikely alliance—in order to climb back to the top. After opening her heart to Diamonds and then having him disappear, Pearl lives her days in a very dark place. But when her father’s empire is toppled and a gaping power vacuum needs to be filled, Pearl is drawn into the very life her father so desperately wanted to shield her from. Pearl needs to fight tooth and nail to become queen of her father’s kingdom, as Diamonds claws his way back to Pearl.

Journalist and human rights activist Janine Roberts was funded for many years by a coalition of US and European churches to work on international human rights frontiers. This work led her to De Beers and its diamond cartel affiliates - after they clashed with an Australian Aboriginal community. She has now been researching and writing on De Beers and the diamond trade for over twenty years, during which time she has made several films, including The Diamond Empire, a feature length documentary shot in six continents, made for the BBC, Australia's ABC and WGBH (Frontline). Although this film was televised and critically acclaimed in the US and Canada, under pressure from De Beers it was severely edited by the BBC for broadcast in the UK and was completely suppressed in some other territories, including Southern Africa and Australia. Bertelsmann AG's British, Australian and Canadian Doubleday imprints then commissioned, paid for and advertised a major work by Ms. Roberts on diamonds - only to drop it at the very last moment, citing the "likelihood of litigation" by "notable and powerful businessmen and politicians." This book reveals everything - and more - that the BBC did not have the guts to broadcast and that Doubleday was scared to print.

In 1850, the legendary Koh-i-noor diamond, gem of Eastern potentates, was transferred from the Punjab in India and, in an elaborate ceremony, placed into Queen Victoria’s outstretched hands. This act inaugurated what author Adrienne Munich recognizes in her engaging new book as the empire of diamonds. Diamonds were a symbol of political power—only for the very rich and influential. But, in a development that also reflected the British Empire’s prosperity, the idea of owning a diamond came to be marketed to the middle class. In all kinds of writings, diamonds began to take on an affordable romance. Considering many of the era’s most iconic voices—from Dickens and Tennyson to Kipling and Stevenson—as well as grand entertainments such as The Moonstone, King Solomon’s Mines, and the tales of Sherlock Holmes, Munich explores diamonds as fetishes that seem to contain a living spirit exerting powerful effects, and shows how they scintillated the literary and cultural imagination. Based on close textual attention and rare archival material, and drawing on ideas from material culture, fashion theory, economic criticism, and fetishism, Empire of Diamonds interprets the various meanings of diamonds, revealing a trajectory including Indian celebrity-named diamonds reserved for Asian princes, such as the Great Mogul and the Hope Diamond, their adoption by British royal and aristocratic families, and their discovery in South Africa, the mining of which devastated the area even as it opened the gem up to the middle classes. The story Munich tells eventually finds its way to America, as power and influence cross the Atlantic, bringing diamonds to a wide consumer culture.

Rare, romantic, and forever: The diamond industry depends on these myths to reap billions of dollars of profit. This sensational investigation explodes such fallacies and reveals how multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns create the impression of rarity and romance. It reveals a very secret and unromantic world, one that is dominated and controlled by a handful of mighty corporations. With Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie The Blood Diamond making more people than ever aware of the seamy side of the diamond trade, Janine Roberts’ explosive exposé, taking us through seven decades of intrigue and manipulation, is the right book at the right time.

All Hail Her Royal Majesty… In the wake of an unthinkable tragedy, Emilia Lancaster has become something she never imagined possible: the reigning Queen of Germania. Still reeling from the violent anti-monarchist attacks against her kingdom, engulfed in grief over the fresh loss of her father, and heartbroken by the betrayal of her closest allies, the newly-minted royal finds herself more isolated than ever… despite the whole country watching her every move. She’d like nothing more than to run away — from the prying eyes of the public, from the political schemes unfolding all around her, and, perhaps most of all, from the painful memories of Carter Thorne, the man who stole her heart without asking for permission. But running isn’t an option; not when there’s an empire to rule. So, Emilia does the only thing she can: puts on her crown, slaps on a smile, and acts like the steady sovereign her shaken subjects need her to be. Non sibi sed patriae. Not for self, but country. After everything that’s happened to her in the past few months, Emilia assumes she’s made it through the worst. She’s wrong. The danger is closer than ever. Unforeseen enemies are lurking just out of sight, determined to put an end to the Lancaster line, once and for all... Their final target? Germania’s fiery new queen. DIAMOND EMPIRE is the final installment of the breathtaking royal romance romance saga THE FORBIDDEN ROYALS TRILOGY. Pulse-pounding suspense, deadly political schemes, and scorching sexual tension make this final installment utterly un-put-downable!

It is a mistake to think that wars only concern armies involved in active engagement. Nothing is farther from the truth. The real forces of evil wage a financial war. The dark princes of debt finance have gained leverage over every important social, economic, and political institution-including the health care delivery system. In AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire, author Nancy Turner Banks draws the connections between free market strategies, the destruction of national sovereignty by the process of globalization, and AIDS as one of the health consequences of a neo-Darwinian philosophy. Through meticulous research, Banks found a medicalpharmaceutical- industrial complex that was taken over one hundred years ago by the titans of financial capitalism. Their aim was to create profit, not to conquer disease. This book of social history points to a cauldron of historical events that contributed to the HIV/AIDS crisis. AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire tells the dramatic story of a financial ideology that is damaging to everything that it means to be human. It is the story of profits over people. In the end, it is the story of hope and how we can regain our sanity and our health in a world gone mad.

From # 1 Essence best-selling Crime Novelist K'Wan comes a tale of forbidden love, high stakes murder and the robbery gone bad that set it all in motion, Diamonds and Pearl. They say that good girls like bad boys, and this was especially true for Pearl Stone. A child born of privilege to a drug baron and reputed killer known in the streets as Big Stone. Although the flashy, fast-paced nature of the streets calls to Pearl, she’s been brought up to look but not touch. But when a young hustler named Diamonds crawls up from the swamps of Louisiana and sets up shop in New York City, everything Pearl was taught flies out the window. Raised in the wild and schooled on the mean streets of New Orleans, Diamonds is no stranger to hard times and is willing to do whatever it takes to stay above the poverty line, including kill. When a robbery turned mass murder goes wrong, Diamonds is forced to flee New Orleans and lands in New York where he meets Pearl, and for the first time finds something he craves more than wealth and power...love. As the stakes get higher, Diamonds has to push away his past if he’s to grab hold of his future—but by doing so, will he show Pearl that all that glitters isn’t gold?
