With the secret of her divine heritage revealed, Freya finds herself on
a path that could see thousands of lives lost to the magic in her
blood. Desperate to avoid this dark fate, she risks an alliance with
Skaland's greatest enemy to seek answers from the seer who foretold her
future - the same seer who sent Bjorn to kill her.
While Freya still seethes with rage over Bjorn's betrayal, the blood
oaths that bind her demand that she keep him close as she hunts for a
way to avert the looming war. Her magic draws her to the front lines of
an old enmity, embroiling her with Nordeland's Unfated - children of
the gods who serve the king she was raised to fear. The same king who,
unlike Bjorn, is now willing to fight at her back. For despite the
desire that burns hot between Bjorn and Freya, his growing distrust of
her chosen path threatens to drag them further apart.
As war approaches, gods and mortals must choose their weapons. Yet the
fiercest battle will be the one Freya wages within herself. With the
magic of two goddesses burning in her veins, she must weave the threads
of destiny to decide her own fate:
Will she be the shield that protects her people or the curse that
destroys them?
Special unjacketed hardback edition of the final part of J.R.R.
Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. This edition
features the complete story with a unique cover design embellished
with silver foil and the iconic maps appearing in red and black as
endpapers. The Companions of the Ring have become involved in
separate adventures as the quest continues. Aragorn, revealed as
the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, joined with the
Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and took part in
the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured
by orcs, escaped into Fangorn Forest and there encountered the
Ents. Gandalf returned, miraculously, and defeated the evil wizard,
Saruman. Meanwhile, Sam and Frodo progressed towards Mordor to
destroy the Ring, accompanied by Smeagol - Gollum, still obsessed
by his 'preciouss'. After a battle with the giant spider, Shelob,
Sam left his master for dead; but Frodo is still alive - in the
hands of the orcs. And all the time the armies of the Dark Lord are
massing.
Empress Celene of Orlais rose to the throne of the most powerful
nation in Thedas through wisdom, wit, and ruthless manipulation.
But her empire is under threat from within by imminent war.
Alliances are forged and promises broken as the battle for the
throne of Orlais begins. But in the end, the elves who hide in the
forests or starve in the alienages may decide the fate of the
masked empire.
Princess Bride meets The Wheel of Time, in an epic romantasy
where a sharp-tongued barmaid and an infuriatingly handsome prince
agree to a fake engagement to stop a deadly magical power.
