Book Description
The apocalypse began with an internal cancer-like growth. A new organ formed, and Towers sprouted from the Earth. All worldly knowledge upended. No explanation or rules given. So, humanity made its own... Jeff Smith was born over a century after "The Rise," the historical name for the day that seven indestructible mechanical towers rose like spiraling drills. Earlier that month, everyone on the planet was given the potential to be something more, to live forever-to be a superhuman. Like everyone else, Jeff wants to cultivate his God Liquid and join the immortal rankers as they conquer the Northern Tower and capture riches beyond imagining. What better life could there be? Unfortunately, for twenty-one years, Jeff hasn't been allowed to cultivate thanks to his tyrant of a mother-thanks to Leah. Then, on the day he is going to escape, a powerful guild on a manhunt attacks Leah's group of scavengers, and Jeff is thrown through a very unique dungeon portal- a portal that hasn't been used in nearly a hundred years. When spells and skills unleash chaos, a special blue screen powers up, and Jeff's journey begins.

A glorious empire. A desperate quest. An ancient secret. The search for allies extends to a new land in the sixth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq have arrived in the shining city of Antica to forge an alliance with the Khagan of the Southern Continent, whose vast armies are Erilea's last hope. But they have also come to Antica for another purpose: to seek healing at the famed Torre Cesme for the wounds Chaol received in Rifthold. After enduring unspeakable horrors as a child at the hands of Adarlanian soldiers, Yrene Towers has no desire to help the young lord from Adarlan, let alone heal him. Yet she has sworn an oath to assist those in need, and she will honor it. But Lord Westfall carries his own dark past, and Yrene soon realizes that those shadows could engulf them both. Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene will have to draw on every scrap of their resilience to overcome the danger that surrounds them. But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, long-awaited answers slumber deep in the mountains, where warriors soar on legendary ruks. Answers that might offer their world a chance at survival . . . or doom them all. The final battle looms in this sixth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.
