In search of Kailani, the next guardian of the chaos portal and the master of shadows, Cordelia and her companions embark on a perilous journey deep into the Arachnin Mountains. Once there, they encounter new enemies and make new friends who lead them to their ultimate destination—the colourless Realm of Shadows. At first, a tunnel of light carves a pathway through that malignant realm, keeping Cordelia and her friends safe from its twisted magic. But visions of a dark tower beyond the tunnel grow in Cordelia’s mind, and eventually, she must choose between pursuing her vision or sticking with the group. Divided and alone, they fight countless battles as their bonds of friendship are put to the ultimate test. Will Cordelia and her companions succumb to Realm of Shadows’ malevolent magic, or can they find a way to escape back to their own world? More importantly, will their alliance survive the journey?

A moving portrait of Africa from Poland's most celebrated foreign correspondent - a masterpiece from a modern master. Famous for being in the wrong places at just the right times, Ryszard Kapuscinski arrived in Africa in 1957, at the beginning of the end of colonial rule - the "sometimes dramatic and painful, sometimes enjoyable and jubilant" rebirth of a continent. The Shadow of the Sun sums up the author's experiences ("the record of a 40-year marriage") in this place that became the central obsession of his remarkable career. From the hopeful years of independence through the bloody disintegration of places like Nigeria, Rwanda and Angola, Kapuscinski recounts great social and political changes through the prism of the ordinary African. He examines the rough-and-ready physical world and identifies the true geography of Africa: a little-understood spiritual universe, an African way of being. He looks also at Africa in the wake of two epoch-making changes: the arrival of AIDS and the definitive departure of the white man. Kapuscinski's rare humanity invests his subjects with a grandeur and a dignity unmatched by any other writer on the Third World, and his unique ability to discern the universal in the particular has never been more powerfully displayed than in this work.
