Hamill, least experienced of the seers, is charged with the task of gathering support from the dwarves and others. Darkness covers the land; violent storms and sickness strike at the heart of the Yield preventing former allies sending aid. Hamill turns to his friend, Jon and together they travel north to the Mountain City of the Colossi. Javelin, Archer and Trapper, three of the dwarves who fought with them against Ebon, rally to their cause, along with Braun, the Metal-master. This brave little band head south to meet the forester but Hamill did not count on having to battle with his feelings for Sylvia, an elf from the Ward who travels with them to Winters Hold.

Witness their struggles as they battle for the safety of the land and all who dwell in it. Will they finally subdue Amethyst saving them from a new dark age or will she become Witch-Queen over the land? Part two of the Golden Tome takes you on a breathtaking journey equal to the first.

The third book in the series, 'The Wizards of Magog', takes Jon and his friends on an unexpected journey home. They had defeated Amethyst, the ogre witch-queen and Ebon, the rogue seer; yet the two friends found that forces beyond their control were conspiring to bring about the downfall of the seers and all that they stood for. Many leagues from their destination, Auger wind-rider, Jon and Hamill were thrown into what was the beginning of a deadly game. Ebon had returned as if from the dead only this time he had powerful allies, the Wizards of Magog. Ages old enemies of the Seers, they had found a way to manipulate the unsuspecting rebel seer and force a way into the world of the seers from whence they had been banished millennia ago. Old and valued friends have sought Jon out and together they endeavour to combat the unseen yet ever present influence of the maddened seer. Sorrow at the loss of one of their little band weighs heavy on their minds as Ebon reaches out across the void that separates them by means of The Rod of Dread.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes a historical YA fantasy about a musical prodigy and the dangerous lengths she'll go to make history remember her. Now in paperback. Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart. Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish--to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age--her tyrannical father has made that much clear. And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true--but his help may cost her everything. In her first work of historical fiction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu spins a lush, lyrically-told story of music, magic, and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
