On the rim of the Cold Valley shine stars enough for two skies; one above and one below. The Breaker and the Mender reach out to one another across the clouds while a splay of constellations encircle their everlasting dance. But, the second set are no stars at all.

Produktbeschreibung
On the rim of the Cold Valley shine stars enough for two skies; one above and one below. The Breaker and the Mender reach out to one another across the clouds while a splay of constellations encircle their everlasting dance. But, the second set are no stars at all. They are the thousands upon uncountable thousand lights of a city so great it encompasses all the world Askon has ever known. Somewhere in that city is the woman from the visions, somewhere in that city is Alora. They all know it now to be true. Finding her is a matter of only where, and when. None knows it better than Elise, her mind filled with fading images of Thomas's face, stricken and wild as they dragged him away. She will chew the shadow of herself down to nothing to find him. Each step, each overturned stone brings her closer to the final confrontation with the one who took him from her, the one who hurt him: Sehlín. Elsewhere, the stars shine on, over Edward king of Vladvir, over John of Dalstone, over sable-gray falcon wings, and Dansil of Finnestre. When the sun rises, an army of Norill will gather, their mouths silent, their hands set singly upon the commands of a cruel master, whose eyes watch as daybreak washes over the Glittering World.
Autorenporträt
Nathan spends most of his working days with the students of Genesee Junior-Senior High School in Genesee, Idaho. Whether it's essay structure, a classic literary work, an invisible ball of energy and deep breathing on stage, or the occasional impromptu dance routine, he strives to keep students interested in the fun and the fundamentals of the English language. When he's not teaching, he wears a number of hats, though the one that says "Dad" is the most careworn and cherished (it says "Husband" on the back). It hangs on a hook in a house where music is a constant and all the computers say "Apple" somewhere on their *aluminium* facades. From time to time it is said that he ventures into the mysterious realm called *outside*, though the occasion is rare and almost exclusively upon request by son or daughter.
