The final book in the soldier son trilogy from the author of the Tawny Man & Farseer trilogies, following on from the bestselling Shaman's Crossing & Forest Mage. The people of Getty's town remember the death of their cemetery soldier vividly. They remember believing him guilty of unspeakable crimes, condemning him, & then watching as other men of his unit beat him until he no longer drew breath. But Nevare Burvelle didn't die that day, though everyone believes they saw it happen. He was cornered by a power far more intractable than an angry mob. When he was a boy, the magic of the Specks -- the dapple-skinned tribes of the frontier forests -- claimed Nevare as a saviour; severing his soul in two, naming his stolen half Soldier's Boy & shaping him into a weapon to halt the Gernian expansion into their lands & save their beloved ancestor trees. Until now Nevare has defied the magic, unable to accept his traitorous fate. But the magic has won: it has extinguished his once golden future, devastated his family & has now turned his own people against him. Faced with endangering the only loved-ones he has left, Nevare has no choice but to surrender to its will & enter the forest. But surrendering to his Speck destiny is only the beginning of his trials. Before he submits completely, Nevare makes one desperate last attempt to deter the Gernians from the Barrier Mountains without causing them harm. But the magic accepts no compromise. Exhausted, Nevare can no longer suppress his traitorous Speck self, Soldiers Boy. Losing control, he becomes a prisoner in his own body; able only to watch helplessly as his other half takes Soldier's Boy is determined to stop the Gernian expansion at all cost, & unlike Nevare, he has no love, nor sympathy for his spirit-twin's world. ...

Product Description

Renia is a young girl who dreams of becoming a poet. But Renia is Jewish, she lives in Poland & the year is 1939. When Russia & Germany invade her country, Renia's world shatters.

Separated from her mother, her life takes on a new urgency as she flees Przemysl to escape night bombing raids, observes the disappearances of other Jewish families &, finally, witnesses the creation of the ghetto.

But alongside the terror of war, there is also great beauty, as she begins to find her voice as a writer & falls in love for the first time. She & the boy she falls in love with, Zygmunt, share their first kiss a few hours before the Nazis reach her hometown. & it is Zygmunt who writes the final, heartbreaking entry in Renia’s diary.

Recently rediscovered after seventy years,   Renia’s Diary is already being described as a classic of Holocaust literature. Written with a clarity & skill that is reminiscent of Anne Frank,   Renia's Diary also

Includes::
a prologue & epilogue by Renia's sister Elizabeth, as well as an introduction by Deborah E.

Lipstadt, author of  Denial. It is an extraordinary testament to both the horrors of war, & to the life that can exist even in the darkest times.
