Llyat Emgar, the seventeen year old runt of Maplehill, and Methladon Heyn, three years his elder and much more robust, witness their families destroyed by an evil that comes in the night. A mysterious foe is at work in the wild lands and may in some way be linked to the serial killer reaping havoc in the Capital. A sullen bard with deep secrets of his own is tasked by the Sovereign to bring an end to the resurgence of a deadly cult. Meanwhile the city watch of Parandor is ordered to catch the murderer. The trail will be long, convoluted, and dangerous. The stink of death is in the air.

Llyat, Thias, and Irabo journey into the wild lands north of the Grey Mountains. While searching to reunite the Gems of Thamous in order that the 'Marked' may fulfil the Enderdetag Prophecy, unexpected alliances are forged. Methladon Heyn is fated to follow a darker path as he is forced to confront the evil that is leaking into the Realm through a crack between the dimensions. Meanwhile in Parandor, Tonousa Amberstone must salvage her reputation and find a way to discover the identity of the traitor and instigator of the Death Tubaria murders. All will face their own unique hardships and it is unlikely that all will prevail.

Urthanock reincarnated turns his attention to the destruction of Parandor. Following his fortuitous rescue from the jaws of death, Llyat Emgar resumes his quest to seal the evil inside the Underworld. Somehow he must locate the portal that will give him access to the dark dimension and find a way to forge the key that will lock it for all time. While the final battle for Parandor rages the 'Marked' must visit The Fates for only the ancient three can show him the way. Knowledge is not without cost. The great unknown is whether or not Llyat can determine his own destiny in order to save his world. If the Moirai have predetermined the outcome then who if anyone will survive the final confrontation?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.
