After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth. But a storm is coming…and not everyone can survive its wrath.

في هذا الكتاب، يسلّط المؤلف الضوء على إحدى أعظم القضايا الغيبية التي وردت في الكتب السماوية الثلاثة: قصة يأجوج ومأجوج. قضيةٌ أثارت الجدل، وشغلت العقول لقرون، لما تحمله من أبعاد دينية وتاريخية وإنسانية. يتناول هذا العمل الرصين القصة من منظور علمي وتحليلي عميق، بعيدًا عن الموروثات المشوشة والرؤى المتحيّزة التي أثّرت في السياسات العالمية. ومن خلال بحثٍ دقيق واستقراء واعٍ، يبيّن المؤلف أن العالم مقبل على محنة كبرى، ذات ملامح تتقاطع مع ما جاء في النصوص المقدسة عن يأجوج ومأجوج. محنة تستدعي استعدادًا فكريًا وإنسانيًا، وتدعو إلى التسلّح بالعلم والتعاون، كما فعل ذو القرنين في عهده حين واجه بداية تلك المعضلة بعقلٍ راجح وبصيرة نافذة.
هذا الكتاب هو دعوة للتفكّر والتأمل فيما هو قادم، واستنهاض للوعي الإنساني في مواجهة تحديات لا تزال تختبئ في المستقبل القريب.

Soaring oil prices caused four out of the last five recessions. They caused the current recession. And they will cause the next one. Expensive oil costs us more than just money. It costs jobs, homes and in the long run it is going to radically alter the way we live. For if cheap oil is the fuel that keeps the machinery of globalisation in motion, then expensive oil has the same effect as pouring diesel into an unleaded tank. Everything stalls; the engine fails. Oil prices will rise again in the coming years, as this utterly convincing insight into our collective future argues. And as oil prices fluctuate wildly, our society will change dramatically, and for good. From the homes we live in and the cars we drive to the food we eat and the places we work, our daily lives and global economy are going to be transformed. But while this new, smaller world will take some getting used to, it will also open our eyes to a more localised and ultimately more liveable way of life.
