If the past and whispers from afar are any indication, Malachai is certain to continue his campaign to subjugate the realm and eradicate the Baldomar.

Old and new alliances form as Aeryn and Josef set out once again, this time to build a coalition to fight Malachai. Their efforts lead them into new lands, and the stark realization that the enemy is more formidable than imagined. When Aeryn realizes triumph is likely to be as tragic and bleak as failure, she secretly strikes a dangerous bargain to alter the trajectory of the war. Freedom for those she loves comes at a cost.
The Trial
In the end, out of nothing at all, an enormous fabric of guilt will be conjured up. One morning Josef K. is arrested for a crime he did not commit.

As the confounding case unfolds, K. is ultimately powerless - battling against a remote and uncaring bureaucracy. This edition features a new translation by Isabel Tucker. Due to its posthumous publication, The Trial 's original text is largely unedited and Tucker emends certain details while retaining the enigmatic and surreal style which marks Kafka's brilliance. Filled with psychological tension and disconcerting parallels with the modern world, The Trial is a dystopian masterpiece by one of the greatest writers in the German-language.
