Catherine Miller

"Ta ei kaoks lihtsalt niiviisi jäljetult!" hüüdis Kate, pea käte vahel. "Midagi on valesti, ma tunnen seda. Ma pean ta leidma, enne kui on liiga hilja..." Kui Kate oma elu kõige hullemal päeval Theoga kohtub, on armumine viimane, mida ta oodata oskab. Istudes rongis lõksus, lootes meeleheitlikult jõuda oma venna juurde enne, kui too viimase hingetõmbe teeb, suudab Kate vaevu säilitada rahu, kuid minutid aina tiksuvad. Siis pakub talle abi lahke naeratusega Theo. Ja kui too aitab Kate'il tema elu kõige tumedamal päeval haiglasse jõuda, tunneb Kate rinnus midagi helendavat. Ajal, mil Kate murdunud südant ravib, ei lahku Theo tema kõrvalt. Iga päev rõõmustab mees teda millegagi - spontaansed kohtingud haigla sööklas, romantilised nädalavahetused tähtede all. Mehe soojadesse pruunidesse silmadesse vaadates tunneb Kate sügavamat rahu, kui ta juba aastaid oli tundnud, ning ta teab, et on lõpuks leidnud õnne... Kuid siis Theo kaob. Kate'i kõned jäävad vastamata, mehe maja on pime ja tühi. Ükskõik mida sõbrad ütlevad, teab Kate, et midagi on valesti. Theo lahkumist peab olema võimalik selgitada. Võtnud nõuks armastatud mees leida, alustab Kate tema otsinguid. Kuid saades teada tõe mehe kadumise taga, murdub Kate'i süda veel kord. Sest Theo, kes oli lubanud Kate'i kaitsta, pidi nimelt selle lubaduse pärast Kate'i jätma... Kas Kate suudab tõega silmitsi seista ja leiab Theo enne, kui on liiga hilja?

Blood. Death. Arrows and fire, the screams of far too many. A secret, kept well, buried beneath order and tradition. A way embraced by all. For the winged folk, the Journey is sacred, its coming as established as the tide. While some are bound to the sea cliffs as their ancestors had been, others venture inland to farm and expand in industry. Yet though their clans might differ in manner and appearance, when the sages call for their young men be given to train, all are willing to submit. Grimult held no illusions that he would be the one selected as Guardian. To protect their most precious treasure as it makes the trek through habitable lands, the forbidden wilds beyond, and finally, to the Wall itself. He might harbour secret hopes, dreams of the pride he might bring to his family and the accomplishment that might be gleaned for himself, but there were others stronger, more clever, that surely would prove superior. Until the day of ceremony begins, and a name is called, a figure in red beckoning him forward. For his life to become secondary. To put all aspirations aside but this. To leave behind the family he holds dear. To become the Lightkeep's Guardian.
