THE THIRD KINGDOM
GOODKIND, TERRY
The bloodthirsty Jit is dead, and against all odds Richard and Kahlan have survived. But a new menace
has attacked them in the Dark Lands. Infected with the essence of death itself, robbed of his power as a
war wizard, Richard must race against time to uncover and stop the infernal conspiracy assembling itself
behind the wall far to the north. His friends and allies are already captives of this fell combination, and
Kahlan, also touched by death's power, will die completely if Richard fails. Bereft of magic, Richard has
only his sword, his wits, his capacity for insight -- and an extraordinary companion, the young Samantha,
a healer just coming into her powers.

THREE BROTHERS
ACKROYD, PETER
Three Brothers follows the lives and fortunes of Harry, Daniel and Sam Hanway, a trio of brothers born on
the same day in the middle of last century, in a grim council estate in Camden. After their mother
inexplicably abandons the family, each boy is forced to make his own way in the world. From the bustling
cut-throat world of Fleet street, hallowed London publishing offices, and the wealth and comfort of
Chelsea, to the smoky shadowy streets of Limehouse and Hackney, this is a trip around the city, down its
streets, riding on the tubes, at a very particular moment of history, and unusually for Ackroyd's fiction, all
within living memory. London is the backdrop and the connecting fabric of these three lives, reinforcing
Ackroyd's grand theme that history and the city both makes and creates us, surrounds and engulfs us.
