Han Alister thought he had already lost everyone he loved. But when he finds his friend Rebecca Morley near death in the Spirit Mountains, Han knows that nothing matters more than saving her. The costs of his efforts are steep, but nothing can prepare him for what he soon discovers: the beautiful, mysterious ... (more)girl he knew as Rebecca is none other than Raisa ana’Marianna, heir to the Queendom of the Fells. Han is hurt and betrayed. He knows he has no future with a blueblood. And, as far as he’s concerned, the princess’s family killed his own mother and sister. But if Han is to fulfill his end of an old bargain, he must do everything in his power to see Raisa crowned queen. Meanwhile, some people will stop at nothing to prevent Raisa from ascending. With each attempt on her life, she wonders how long it will be before her enemies succeed. Her heart tells her that the thief-turned-wizard Han Alister can be trusted. She wants to believe it—he’s saved her life more than once. But with danger coming at her from every direction, Raisa can only rely on her wits and her iron-hard will to survive—and even that might not be enough. The Gray Wolf Throne is an epic tale of fierce loyalty, unbearable sacrifice, and the heartless hand of fate.

This book club, better known as ARRG!, is for ages 13 and up. The cool thing about this book club is that instead of reading books that are already published, you get to read Advanced Reader Copies (known in the publishing business as ARCs) of books that have yet to be published. Then, you tell us what ... (more)you think! We'll also read one published book each month. *At this time, the book club is full. Call the store to find out about getting on the waiting list. Our next meeting will be Saturday, October 24th at 5:30PM. Our already-published book this month is The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. We'll also discuss some ARCs: The Mazerunner and The Demon King. Call the store to talk to Drew if you don't have copies of these ARCs yet.

The finale in Chima's amazing Heir trilogy is just as magical as we'd hoped. What happens to Seph and will his wizardry be taken from him? What will Jason and Maddie be willing to fight for?
