Produktbeschreibung

Readers' Favorite Gold Medalist American Fiction Award Winner IAN Book of the Year Winner Nothing can stop the gods of Order... except a roll of the dice. The Longing gnaws at young Galen, an irresistible force dragging him toward an ancient vault where Chaos slumbers. He doesn't crave power, just an escape from Order's suffocating grip and the twisted nightmares that haunt his sleep. But visions flicker in his mind, painting a world devoured by the very chaos he's compelled to unleash. He's not alone in this desperate pilgrimage. Another soul thrums with the same Longing, fueled by ambition and vengeance. The race to the vault is a collision course, a clash of desperation and darkness. Now, Galen stands at the precipice: trust his wild imagination, a double-edged sword that's always landed him in trouble, or unleash the torrent that threatens to drown the world... unless, somehow, he can bend the very fabric of chance with a throw of his ancient, wood-carved dice. In a high-stakes game of dice, dreams, and destiny, ignite your rebellion with the Child of Chaos, an epic YA fantasy where the magic of Shadow and Bone meets the cunning challenges of Mistborn.
