A story of a young girl who escapes from Nazi Germany to England on the Kindertransport.

Suzanne Perry is having a vivid nightmare. Someone is in her bedroom, touching her, and she can't move a muscle. She wakes, relieved to put the nightmare behind her, but when she opens the curtains, she sees a polaroid stuck to the window. A photo of her sleeping self, taken during the night. Her nightmare is just beginning.

The end draws near.... The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One’s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight. The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age. Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod and find a way--at long last--to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The creatures beyond the stone gateways--the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn--have confused him, taunted him, and left him hanged, his memory stuffed with bits and pieces of other men’s lives. He had hoped that his last confrontation with them would be the end of it, but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The time is coming when he will again have to dance with the Snakes and the Foxes, playing a game that cannot be won. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost. This penultimate novel of Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling series--the second of three based on materials he left behind when he died in 2007--brings dramatic and compelling developments to many threads in the Pattern. The end draws near. Dovie’andi se tovya sagain. It’s time to toss the dice.

A lost race of elves, the taredhel or 'people of the stars' have found a way across the universe to reach Midkemia. On their current home world, these elves are hard pressed by a ravaging demon horde, and what was once a huge empire has been reduced to a handful of survivors.

"In un mondo dominato dagli alieni, c'è ancora una speranza per gli uomini. L'amore. Appassionante, commovente, ipnotica. La storia di due anime in un solo corpo."--

Grace e Sam non si sono mai parlati, ma da sempre si prendono cura l’una dell’altro. Non si conoscono, eppure lei rischierebbe la vita per lui, e lui per lei. Perché Grace, fin da piccola, sorveglia i lupi che vivono nel bosco dietro casa sua, e in particolare uno dotato di magnetici occhi gialli, che negli anni è diventato il suo lupo. E perché Sam da quando era un bambino vive una doppia vita: lupo d’inverno, umano d’estate. Il caldo gli regala pochi preziosissimi mesi da essere umano prima che il freddo lo trasformi di nuovo. Grace e Sam ancora non si conoscono, ma tutto è destinato a cambiare: un ragazzo è stato ucciso, proprio dai lupi, e nella piccola città in cui vive Grace monta il panico, e si scatena la caccia al branco. Grace corre nel bosco per salvare il suo lupo e trova un ragazzo solo, ferito, smarrito, con due magnetici occhi gialli. Non ha dubbi su chi sia, né su ciò che deve fare. Perché Grace e Sam da sempre si prendono cura l’una dell’altro, e adesso hanno una sola, breve stagione per stare insieme prima che il gelo torni e si porti via Sam un’altra volta. Forse per sempre.

Since its debut in 1990, Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series has captivated millions with its expansive world, originality, and memorable characters. In the Third Age, a time of prophecy, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as legends fade into myth. Amidst a fierce three-day battle around Tar Valon, a crucial Foretelling emerges. On the slopes of Dragonmount, an infant is born, destined to change the world, but he must be found before the Shadow can strike. Moiraine Damodred, a young woman on the cusp of becoming Aes Sedai, and Lan Mandragoran, a soldier in the thick of battle, find their lives intertwined. Their journey is fraught with peril, as Moiraine hails from a royal lineage recently shaken by the king's death, while Lan is viewed as the uncrowned king of a long-lost nation. Both face threats from those who seek power for themselves. "New Spring" recounts these events in a condensed form, while "New Spring: The Novel" expands on the full story, setting the stage for the epic saga that follows. The series promises an intricate tapestry of adventure, intrigue, and the timeless struggle between light and shadow.
