The third novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.
The Land is One with the Dragon - and the Dragon is One with the Land.
The Shadow lies across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One has turned all his power against the prison that binds him. If it fails he will escape and nothing will stand in the storm that blows then . . . save the man that was born to battle the darkness: Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn.
But to wage his war Rand must find Callandor, ancient Sword of the Dragon . . . and the Forsaken will shatter the world to thwart him.
It's Wolfstime, the foreboding period around each full moon when
villagers must protect their homes and families against the giant,
ferocious wolves that roam the forest. On the day Red turned
thirteen, Granny gave her a special red cloak upon which a spell
had been cast to protect Red from wolves.Red is now sixteen and is
desperately trying to fit in among her peers, save Granny's failing
bakery business, and, of course, protect herself from wolves. Her
crush on Peter and her determination not to let the mean girls
sabotage her blossoming romance cause Red to make some questionable
choices.Will these choices let the wolves in? Will Red pick the
right battle? Will her skills be strong enough to keep her alive?
Another incredible novel from the #1 internationally bestselling
author of The Alchemist. Centuries before, on the eve of the
invasion of Accra, the citizens gathered. A man stood before them
and invited the people share their fears that he might offer hope
and comfort. His extraordinary insights on courage, solitude,
loyalty and loss were transcribed and passed on. A timeless and
powerful exploration of personal growth, everyday wisdom and joy.
The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad
Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join
forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war.
Daevabad has fallen. After a brutal conquest stripped the city of
its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected
commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and
stabilize a fractious, warring people. But the death of his people
and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of
Dara's dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths
about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once
considered enemies. Having narrowly escaped their murderous
families and Daevabad's deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in
Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. Though Nahri is finding
peace in the rhythms of her old home, she is haunted by the
knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who
considered her a savior, are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali,
too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to
rescue his city and the family that remains. As peace grows more
elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to
understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to
fight those they once loved...and take a stand for those they once
hurt.

The program will keep you alive... Or will it?
Misty Alice and her fiancé, Levi Byron, are invited to the grand reopening of the sanatorium: Asile. Upon arriving at Asile, Misty, and Levi learn that they have been trapped by someone with a lethal fixation on Misty.
In order to escape they have three days to befriend the deceased living among them, uncover who is running Asile, and figure out how to stop him. Should they fail, they will become part of the souls lost within Asile.
A richly atmospheric historical fantasy about shapeshifters
struggling to survive in the decadent city of Rome during the Dark
Ages. Rome is mired in crumbling grandeur. Into the Eternal City
comes Regeane, a young woman distantly related to Charlemagne, and
as such an unwilling pawn in the struggle for political power. But
unknown to all, she is a shapeshifter: woman and wolf. Betrothed to
a barbarian lord she has never seen, she is surrounded by enemies.
The most notorious, her depraved uncle and guardian, who will
betray her to the Church unless she aids him in his sinister
schemes. If the Church discovers her secret she will burn at the
stake. Outside the gates of Rome there is a mysterious dark wolf
who seems to offer Regeane a wildly seductive new life, yet as her
marriage looms plots and deadly counterplots tighten like a noose
around her neck. Fast-paced, sensual and rich with historical
detail, The Silver Wolf will place Alice Borchardt squarely in the
front rank of contemporary women writers. Her intricate plot and
hypnotic voice will cast a spell few will be able to resist.
'Comparable to Tolkien at his best' WASHINGTON POST Returning
millions of readers to the Land and continuing the epic story of
the anti-hero fated to be its saviour, THE SECOND CHRONICLES OF
THOMAS COVENANT secured Stephen Donaldson's reputation as a master
of modern fantasy. Swept far to the north, Thomas Covenant and
Linden Avery must embark on another dangerous journey, never
knowing whether the magic they bear will be enough to reverse the
corruption wrought by Lord Foul. Together, they are drawn back to
the Land - to the fulfilment of prophecies, to war and loss, and to
a stunning final confrontation that will unleash powers far greater
than any this world has witnessed before.
