With his friends and family on the line, Clayson must find a way to heal the world.Rimduum is shattered. Stranded on the surface, my friends and I search for survivors of the mithrium crown's terrible power. Desperately, we track down refugees as we build a network of safe houses to shelter the vulnerable from roaming bands of darksmiths. But the more we help, the more our power shrinks.Until new clues force me to strike a strange alliance. My search for a power strong enough to fight back will lead us all into dangerous territory. To the forest of Gamgim, filled with wraiths. To a city of fallout where the living buildings want nothing more than to absorb you into the machine. And to the dungeon of the champion Erikzin Brightstorm.Though darksmiths lie around every corner, the fate of the mithrium poses an even greater danger. Uncovering its origin could lead us to a power that would make the world right again. But the truth has already cost us so much, and I'm afraid of where it might lead. Will the power add up to something I can use to protect those I love? Or will the secrets I reveal increase the deadly cost born by all who find themselves prisoners in the world of Rimduum?

It's been a long winter for Clayson Brightstorm. After months of searching for a solution to his curse, he still cannot sleep restfully in the Loamin world. Nor can he rid himself of a single reoccurring dream-a snapshot from his grandfather's memories fixated on a dark and haunting mineshaft. Meanwhile, Rugnus and Andalynn are preoccupied, working feverishly, night and day, to prepare for the StoneYoke Festival. For the first time in centuries, the citizens of Whurrimduum and Tungsten City will gather for an unprecedented celebration of unity. Despite his restlessness, Clayson agrees to attend the celebration. But as Andalynn begins the opening ceremony, terror strikes the central amphitheater. Unable to budge or access bluelink, millions of Loamin watch horrified as the very preparations for the festival turn against them. When the dust settles, suspicion falls on Clayson. The council enlists a beautiful and clever paladin to investigate the origin of the attack. Despite the risk, Clayson finds himself drawn to the paladin's intelligence and mystery. He'll need to keep his friends and family close-as well as a good shield-for mortal danger is only a dungeon away.

Before Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Julius Erving, or Michael Jordanbefore Magic Johnson and Showtimethe Harlem Globetrotters revolutionized basketball and spread the game around the world. In Spinning the Globe, author Ben Green tells the story of this extraordinary franchise and iconic American institution. We follow the Globetrotters' rise from backwoods obscurity during the harsh years of the Great Depression to become the best basketball team in the country and, by the early 1950s, the most popular sports franchise in the world. Green brings to life their struggles with racism and segregation, and their influence upon a nation's views about race and sport. We witness the Globetrotters' fall from grace to the brink of bankruptcy in the early 1990s, and their ultimate rebirth under Mannie Jackson today, as they once again amaze kids and families around the world. Now in paperback, this is the true and complete story of their amazing eighty years as a team, told with lyrical prose and masterful storytelling by Ben Green.
