The #1 bestselling series continues with book thirteen of The Wheel of Time!

The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One’s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight.

The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age.

Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod and find a way—at long last—to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever.

Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The creatures beyond the stone gateways—the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn—have confused him, taunted him, and left him hanged, his memory stuffed with bits and pieces of other men’s lives. He had hoped that his last confrontation with them would be the end of it, but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The time is coming when he will again have to dance with the Snakes and the Foxes, playing a game that cannot be won. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost.

This penultimate novel of Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling series—the second of three based on materials he left behind when he passed away in 2007—brings dramatic and compelling developments to many threads in the Pattern.

Today Cathrine Ann is the award-winning founder and CEO of Consumer Connections Inc.—a multi-million dollar company that specializes in customer service evaluation and analysis. Smart and sophisticated, she radiates confidence. But it wasn’t always that way.

Abused by a drunken father, a mother who hated her, sexual molestation—including an uncle who pimped her out to his friends, constant hunger and homelessness, eating out of dumpsters, turning tricks, pregnant at 15, drugs, a jail sentence at 18, thoughts of suicide and an eventual mental breakdown. Then, a pendulum swing: an exciting new life that includes partying with celebrities, marriage to a socially prominent businessman, life in an exclusive upscale suburb—complete with a mansion and full-time maid—and a successful startup business. Like a fairy tale, the little girl who had nothing has it all. Too bad it couldn’t last. When her world implodes she finds herself back to having nothing, but determined to make something of her life—no matter what. Beautiful Buttons is a rough, raw, remarkably candid and often surprisingly funny portrait of a life lived and redeemed. Make no mistake, Cathrine was no saint. She is brutally honest about the mistakes she has made—the mistakes she continues to make. Her story will have readers alternately weeping, laughing and shaking their heads in admiration and astonishment.

**NEW** “How did Oprah miss this one? Cathrine Ann has won countless awards of the ‘woman entrepreneur of the year’ sort, and kudos to her for that...Cathrine Ann is not only a player, but— far more important—she’s an inspiration to women everywhere.”—Globe and Mail

Imagine a world where every town has its own local food source, grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to nature’s grocery store—imagine the world the vertical farm.

When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to solve America’s food, water, and energy crises, he didn’t just think big—he thought up. Despommier’s stroke of genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. These farms, grown inside skyscrapers, would provide solutions to many of the serious problems we currently face.

Anna Goldsworthy was nine years old when she met Eleanora Sivan, the charismatic Russian émigré and world-class pianist who became her piano teacher. Piano Lessons is the story of what Mrs. Sivan brought to Anna’s lessons: a love of music, a respect for life, a generous spirit, and the courage to embrace a musical life.

Beautifully written and strikingly honest, Piano Lessons takes the reader on a journey into the heart and meaning of music. As Anna discovers passion and ambition, confronts doubt and disappointment, and learns about much more than tone and technique, Mrs. Sivan’s wisdom guides her.

Piano Lessons reminds us all how an extraordinary teacher can change a life completely. A work that will appeal to all music lovers and anyone who has ever taken a music lesson, Piano Lessons will also touch the heart of anyone who has ever loved a teacher.

Goldsworthy will be in Toronto in November as part of her tour. Details to come!
