Keer terug naar de wereld van Shannara met het vervolg op Galaphile, en ontdek hoe de kiemen van het grootste kwaad dat de Vier Landen ooit gekend hebben onbedoeld uit Galaphiles droom van vrede voortkwamen, van de New York Times-bestsellerauteurs Terry Brooks en Delilah S. Dawson. Er zijn jaren verstreken sinds Galaphile Joss en zijn levenspartner Nirianne Paranor stichtten als een manier om harmonie in de Vier Landen te brengen. Nu worden hun twee zonen mannen in een land van vrede en overvloed. Toegegeven, het is een land dat hun oudste kind Abronja nogal saai vindt. Op zijn zestiende verlangt hij naar een manier om zich te bewijzen, een kans om te tonen dat hij in alles de gelijke van zijn beroemde vader is. Maar wanneer de opwinding waarnaar hij verlangde zich aandient, is het in de vorm van een oud kwaad: een duistere tovenaar die zijn vader verslagen maar niet vernietigd had. En die nu terug is, sterker en dodelijker dan ooit. Galaphile heeft die verdorven heropstanding altijd gevreesd, en niet alleen om wat het voor de wijdere wereld betekent. Abronja werd verwekt terwijl de duistere tovenaar Nirianne in zijn macht had, en Galaphile heeft altijd gevreesd dat er een vonk van kwaadaardigheid in zijn geliefde kind voortleeft. Abronja is van zijn kant zeker dat hij nooit door het kwaad bedorven zal worden. Hij is volledig toegewijd aan de visie van zijn vader op vrede en is vastbesloten naam te maken door het monster dat het op zijn familie gemunt heeft eindelijk te vernietigen. Maar je met duistere magie inlaten is niet iets om licht op te vatten, zeker niet voor een jongeman die nog niet in de wegen van de wereld beproefd is. En wanneer de gevolgen van die ontmoeting eeuwenlang zouden kunnen doorwerken...

Aliens have invaded Earth—or so it would seem—in this contemporary middle grade graphic novel that follows 11-year-old Chris Cleevy as he navigates the emergence of his OCD and his mom’s new boyfriend. Perfect for fans of Very Bad at Math and Real Friends. Chris Cleevy’s out-of-this-world imagination has always been fueled by his love of sci-fi. Thankfully, simple routines like tying his shoelaces and picking out his socks have kept him grounded right here on Earth. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when his mom brings home her new boyfriend, Phil. Despite Phil’s friendly demeanor, Chris becomes convinced Phil’s a member of the mind-controlling alien race from one of his science-fiction stories. Chris believes, however, that his routines will shield his mind from Phil’s alien influence. As the world becomes harder and harder to navigate, Chris discovers the source controlling his behaviors may have a different, more earthly origin. Earth to Chris Cleevy is a poignant exploration of mental health, the ups and downs of middle school, and what it means to accept yourself for who you are even when you’re still trying to figure that out.
