Амели Вэнь Чжао4.1 Кириллийская империя погрязла в беззаконии и взяточничестве. У богатых в руках привилегии и власть, у бедных – ничего, а аффинитов, чья магическая сила способна управлять неосязаемым, принято бояться и избегать. Разрушить старые устои могут лишь двое:
АНАСТАСИЯ – бывшая наследница престола Кириллии. Теперь она просто аффинитка, обладающая магическим даром управлять кровью человека. Гонимая и обвиняемая в убийстве собственного отца, она поклялась разыскать настоящего убийцу и восстановить свое честное имя.
РАМСОН – гений преступности. В прошлом – правая рука самого могущественного криминального лорда Кириллии. Теперь – человек без будущего, гниющий в тюрьме. Он жаждет отомстить обидчику и вернуть себе былую власть.
Они стали союзниками: Рамсон обещает помочь Анастасии найти виновника всех ее несчастий, если та согласится применить свою силу для уничтожения его врагов. Но мир меняется, и теперь каждому из них предстоит сделать свой судьбоносный выбор...
Онджали Ку Рауф4.3 There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it.
He's eight years old (just like me), but he's very strange. He never talks and never smiles and doesn't like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite!
But the truth is, Ahmet really isn't very strange at all. He's a refugee who's run away from a War. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And the more I find out about him, the more I want to be his friend.
That's where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we've come up with a plan.
