Pursued to the great northern bay of the Inkwell, the ragged band is harried on every side by unearthly enemies who seem to find them wherever they flee. As the death toll rises, Lauro seeks help from the three tribes of nymphkind living in the bay: the Zain, who sail over the waves, the Treele, who swim beneath, and the Reethe, who conjure blizzards to aid their army. But can any mortal stand against the tide that comes?
D! emons are waking at the core of the world. Man and nymph together grow weaker as time goes on, and the guiding spirit of the Aura is nowhere to be found... except in a curiously powerful nymph girl named Elia, who may hold the key to Gribly's quest for answers and Lauro's quest for glory. But she is being hunted just as they, and time is rapidly running out for all the races of Vast...
Legends will be forged... or the world will fall to everlasting winter.Gribly is trying as hard as he can to rid himself of the stigma of "thief." At his side is Lauro, who seems equally ashamed of his own title: "prince." But try as they might, the two can't shake their roots...

Legends will be forged... or the world will fall to everlasting winter.The stage is set. The First Act has ended. The deadly game has begun at last.
Elia, the Halanyad, destined to unite all nymphkind, has been captured. Gribly, the Prophet, has left his destiny behind in order to have one last, desperate chance at saving her.
Now Lauro, the disgraced prince of Vastion, is the only hero left. It will be up to him to traverse the hazards of the Blackwood and Fellmere in search of the Red Aura, Automo, ! who may hold the only weapon capable of sending the archdemons of the Legion back to the gates of Hell… forever.
A half-blood princess with unheard of abilities. An easy-going ranger with a mysterious weapon. A fire-breathing monster who may or may not be an ally. A one-handed Windmaster with prodigious Sky Striding power. Will their aid be enough to bring Vastion to victory? Will Lauro ever find redemption?
The old legends have died… A new legend is rising, and it is written in blood.

The old legends have died… A new legend is rising, and it is written in blood.
The city of Ymeer is crawling with all manner of lowlifes and rogues. Among these, Gribly the thief is considered to be a rising force of destiny: he always wins, always gets what he wants, and never, ever gets caught.
Most people think it's skill, and some think it's just dumb luck... but everyone is wrong. Gribly has a talent that no one knows about- not even the old gypsy who raised him. It's because of this talent that he's so good at burglary, and he makes sure no one knows his secret. Should it ever become known, he knows, his life would b! e imperiled...
The Dunelord, ruler of Ymeer, will brook no equals. Gribly's talent makes him an equal, and that makes him a threat. This boy can control the power of sand... but even in a city built from it, that may not be enough.
Into the scene stumbles a mysterious young messenger named Lauro. When Gribly finds him dying from exhaustion outside the city gates, Lauro claims he bears a message from Larion, King of Vastion in the south, to the Dunelord. Helping Lauro could be Gribly's way out of trouble... but do messengers carry royal swords? Do they control the power of the winds?
Both lads soon realize the other has something to hide, but neither one knows the titanic role they will play in the world-shaking events that will soon grip Ymeer... and the entire continent of Vast.

Become a legend... or die trying.Gribly is too tired to fight. After his battle with the Sea Demon, all he wants to do is rest, enjoy the hospitality of the Reethe, and perhaps even nurture a budding romance with Elia. But all his hopes are dashed when Lauro disappears; festering with a hateful secret he refuses to share with his friends. So it is reluctantly that Gribly resumes the role of prophet, placed on him unwillingly by the Aura, and goes after the errant prince. Now, though, there is no one to lead but himself...
Negotiating an deal with his old ally, retired pirate Bernarl of the Zain, Gribly sets off with Elia in tow to bring Lauro back, in chains if need be. The journey will take them to the Grymclaw, a bleak northern peninsula where one of the Aura is r! umored to live... but some of the rumors say he is held captiv! e by a d ark power older than time itself.
Gribly is destined to learn his past... but he may not be able to take the truth.
Elia is destined to unite her race... but she may not survive the quest.
Lauro is destined to save the world... but when he learns the price of salvation, he may not want it.
And forgotten by all, Gramling, the young Pit Strider who has plagued them from the beginning, is on the loose once more. This time, he may not be stopped. This time, he won't be seen until it's too late.

Sometimes even the best-made pocket knife just isn't big enough cut it out in the brush. That's where the AU-02 comes in. Thanks to a five-inch straight-edge blade and an overall length of ten inches that lets you maximize leverage while maintaining a comfortable full-hand grip, this fixed-blade knife makes quick work of even the toughest field tasks, and it's so versatile that you may just find yourself reaching for it at home too.
Its blade is crafted from 7Cr13 stainless steel for an optimal balance of value, durability,! and edge retention, and a gut hook on the spine of the knife ! makes it ideal for field dressing.
Portable, Ergonomic Design Ensures Easy, Comfortable Use
In designing the Aura line, SOG studied the original bowie knife created by Rezin Bowie in 1838 and brought the best of that traditional design to this contemporary knife by maximizing utility, ergonomics, and safety. For the type of sure grip that leads to safe, accurate cuts, this Aura knife's handle combines the comfort and the nonslip properties of a textured rubber overmolding with a tough body crafted from glass-reinforced Zytel--a compound that's lightweight, abrasion resistant, and impact resistant.
The knife is shaped to sit comfortably in either your right or your left hand, and its unique blade shape provides the same safety as other knives while eliminating the need for a clunky, unwieldy crossguard. Thanks to this design and these materials, this versatile fixed-blade knife weighs in at just 5.4 ounces for enhanced portability, and it is well-balanced for further en! hanced comfort and control.
Integrated Sharpener Makes an Ideal Travel Partner
A sharp blade is not just a more effective blade, it's also a safer blade. And because even the most durable edges sometimes require a touch up after a tough job is completed, this innovative field knife comes with an integrated sharper, conveniently stored in the back of the knife's handle. Use it whenever and wherever you have the time to sit down and maintain your blade, and ensure that your knife is at its best the next time you reach for it.
This AU-02 Aura Fixed-Blade Hunting Knife comes with a durable nylon sheath, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.

The Amateur Marriage: A Novel
- Anne Tyler has taken the edgy, imperfect, exasperating moments of marriage and woven a tapestry of life and its changes in the course of a fifty-year relationship.
Rachel and Scott were never friends in college; her scholarly pursuits never fit with his party-boy attitude. She was the serious student, spending whatever time she had studying to become a doctor. Scott was just the opposite: a sexy frat boy more interested in booze and girls than books.
When they share a road trip after graduation, the only question is how they will tolerate each other for two days in close quarters. Everything changes when Scott's car breaks down in a small town, leaving them with only one opportunity to raise the money they n! eed. Now Rachel must come out of her scholarly shell and embrace the exhibitionist withinâ€"and maybe show Scott there's more to her than her brain.
Unexpected car trouble leaves the doctor and the former party boy stranded during their cross-country trip, bringing them closer togetherâ€"â€"in every way possible.

Santa Closet
A young boy thinks his Christmas is ruined when his family moves into a house without a chimney. (975 words)From the inimitable Anne Tyler, a rich and compelling novel about a mismatched marriageâ€"and its consequences, spanning three generations.
They seemed like the perfect coupleâ€"young, good-looking, made for each other. The moment Pauline, a stranger to the Polish Eastern Ave! nue neighborhood of Baltimore (though she lived only twenty mi! nutes aw ay), walked into his mother’s grocery store, Michael was smitten. And in the heat of World War II fervor, they are propelled into a hasty wedding. But they never should have married.
Pauline, impulsive, impractical, tumbles hit-or-miss through life; Michael, plodding, cautious, judgmental, proceeds deliberately. While other young marrieds, equally ignorant at the start, seemed to grow more seasoned, Pauline and Michael remain amateurs. In time their foolish quarrels take their toll. Even when they find themselves, almost thirty years later, loving, instant parents to a little grandson named Pagan, whom they rescue from Haight-Ashbury, they still cannot bridge their deep-rooted differences. Flighty Pauline clings to the notion that the rifts can always be patched. To the unyielding Michael, they become unbearable.
From the sound of the cash register in the old grocery to the counterculture jargon of the sixties, from the miniskirts to the multilayered appare! l of later years, Anne Tyler captures the evocative nuances of everyday life during these decades with such telling precision that every page brings smiles of recognition. Throughout, as each of the competing voices bears witness, we are drawn ever more fully into the complex entanglements of family life in this wise, embracing, and deeply perceptive novel.
From the Hardcover edition.Anne Tyler's The Amateur Marriage is not so much a novel as a really long argument. Michael is a good boy from a Polish neighborhood in Baltimore; Pauline is a harum-scarum, bright-cheeked girl who blows into Michael's family's grocery store at the outset of World War II. She appears with a bloodied brow, supported by a gaggle of girlfriends. Michael patches her up, and neither of them are ever the same. Well, not the same as they were before, but pretty much the same as everyone else. After the war, they live over the shop with Michael's mother till they've sav! ed enough to move to the suburbs. There they remain with thei! r three children, until the onset of the sixties, when their eldest daughter runs away to San Francisco. Their marriage survives for a while, finally crumbling in the seventies. If this all sounds a tad generic, Tyler's case isn't helped by the characteristics she's given the two spouses. Him: repressed, censorious, quiet. Her: voluble, emotional, romantic. Mars, meet Venus. What marks this couple, though, and what makes them come alive, is their bitter, unproductive, tooth-and-nail fighting. Tyler is exploring the way that ordinary-seeming, prosperous people can survive in emotional poverty for years on end. She gets just right the tricks Michael and Pauline play on themselves in order to stay together: "How many times," Pauline asks herself, "when she was weary of dealing with Michael, had she forced herself to recall the way he'd looked that first day? The slant of his fine cheekbones, the firming of his lips as he pressed the adhesive tape in place on her forehead.! " Only in antogonism do Michael and Pauline find a way to express themselves. --Claire Dederer
