'Gripping, heartbreaking and uplifting.' Christy Lefteri, author of
the million-copy bestseller The Beekeeper of Aleppo THEIR STORY
WILL BREAK YOUR HEART THEIR JOURNEY WILL FILL YOU WITH HOPE YOU
WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR NAMES When they are little girls, Cibi,
Magda and Livia make a promise to their father - that they will
stay together, no matter what. Years later, at just 15, Livia is
ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers
their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister,
or die with her. Together, they fight to survive through
unimaginable cruelty and hardship. Magda, only 17, stays with her
mother and grandfather, hiding out in a neighbour's attic or in the
forest when the Nazi militia come to round up friends, neighbours
and family. She escapes for a time, but eventually she too is
captured and transported to the death camp. In Auschwitz-Birkenau
the three sisters are reunited and, remembering their father, they
make a new promise, this time to each other: That they will
survive. Three Sisters is a beautiful story of hope in the hardest
of times and of finding love after loss. Heather Morris is the
global bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's
Journey, which have sold eight million copies worldwide. Three
Sisters is her third novel, and the final piece in the phenomenon
that is the Tattooist of Auschwitz series.
The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster
video game for Xbox!It is 2555, more than two years after the
Master Chief went missing-in-action following a decisive conflict
on Installation 00--the massive, extragalactic Forerunner construct
known as the Ark--as part of the final chapter in humanity's bloody
thirty-year struggle against the overwhelming forces of the
Covenant. Now, as a tenuous peace exists between the humans and the
Elites, a startling scientific discovery is made...and the riddle
behind its Forerunner origins could very well seal the fate of the
entire galaxy within a matter of weeks. In order to unravel these
dangerous secrets, a heroic, hastily formed coalition of humans and
Elites must attempt to overcome their differences as they embark on
a covert mission back to the Ark--an astonishing, enigmatic place
beyond comprehension from which few have returned and where mortal
danger awaits them all...
