The Prophecy (Animorphs #34)

"A single Arn, Quafijinivon, the last member of the race that created the Hork-Bajir has survived. He has seen his entire people wiped out. He has seen the Hork-Bajir enslaved. Now, after a lifetime of planning and plotting, he wants to get his revenge on the Yeerks. And he wants to atone for the problems the Arn have caused. He is old and weak. But he has something the Yeerks have reason to fear: the Ixcila, the mind pattern and persona of Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan. Prince Seerow's daughter and one of the main characters of The Hork-Bajir Chronicles. Dak Hamee's Ixcila did not survive. Aldrea's Ixcila is a powerful thing for the Arn to have. Because he's also learned that while Aldrea and Dak were alive they'd managed to steal and hide an entire transport of Yeerk weaponry. And now Quafijinivon wants the free Hork-Bajir on Earth to have the weapons to fight against the Yeerks. But he has to find the weapons first. And only Aldrea would know where they are hidden. The free Hork-Bajir notify the Animorphs of this Arn's arrival on Earth. When they meet, Quafijinivon feels that Cassie is the best candidate for Aldrea's Ixcila. Now, Cassie has within her own mind the mind of Aldrea. She, the other kids, the Arn, and Toby (the young Seer of the free Hork-Bajir colony), must travel to the Hork-Bajir home world, locate the weapons cache, and help launch a new Hork-Bajir liberation movement. One problem: The Aldrea persona must voluntarily surrender its hold on the host mind or decide to push the host aside. Did Aldrea's Ixcila choose Cassie because it sensed she was weak? Or was Aldrea drawn to the truly strong memeber of the Animorphs?"

Funge anche da storia autoconclusiva ed è un’ottima introduzione al mondo di Escalon. Nella serie RE E STREGONI, Kyra, 15 anni, sogna di diventare un guerriero famoso, come suo padre, nonostante sia l’unica ragazza in una fortezza di maschi. Mentre lotta per comprendere le sue abilità speciali, il suo misterioso potere interiore, scopre di essere diversa dagli altri. Ma un segreto sulla sua nascita e sulla profezia che la circonda le è stato celato, lasciandola a chiedersi chi sia davvero. Appena Kyra raggiunge la maggiore età, il lord locale va a chiedere la sua mano. Suo padre vuole dargliela in moglie per salvarla, ma Kyra rifiuta e si avventura da sola in una foresta pericolosa, dove incontra un drago ferito e innesca una serie di eventi che cambieranno il regno per sempre. Il quindicenne Alec, nel frattempo, si sacrifica per suo fratello, prendendo il suo posto di recluta, e viene inviato a Le Fiamme, un muro di fuoco alto trenta metri che respinge l’esercito di Troll a est. Dal lato opposto del regno, Merk, un mercenario che sta lottando per lasciarsi alle spalle il suo passato oscuro, si avventura nella foresta per diventare un Sorvegliante delle Torri e salvaguardare la Spada di Fuoco, la fonte paranormale del potere del regno. Ma i Troll vogliono anch’essi la Spada e si preparano per un’invasione di massa che potrebbe distruggere il regno per sempre.

Послушайте увлекательный, очень динамичный роман «Повелитель миражей». В результате клановых войн родители Димы Березина были вынуждены бежать в далёкую Японию. Но и там спастись им не удалось: их предательски убили вместе с остатками соратников. Мальчик остался на попечении постороннего человека: его взялся воспитывать старый сэнсей Макото, нанятый родителями Димы, чтобы обучать его боевым искусствам. Так что, осиротев, подросток не остался без присмотра. Вскоре он вполне освоился в Японии… Но вот Диме исполняется шестнадцать, и прежние враги рода, а также все, кто не хочет упустить своей выгоды, активизируются. Оказывается, наследство Березиных прибрали к рукам не полностью, кое-что осталось на тайных счетах, которые как раз должны перейти к Диме по достижении им шестнадцатилетия... Одинокий, лишённый родных и клана подросток представляется лёгкой добычей. Но никто не знает, что юный герой весьма далеко продвинулся в специфической области боевых искусств... Теперь Дима вправе рассчитывать только на себя, собственную силу и смекалку. Удастся ли ему отомстить тем, кто предал его родителей? Обретёт ли герой душевный покой и новую семью?
