Sin embargo, cada uno de estos semidioses fue una vez una persona común y corriente hasta que fue tocado por el misterioso poder transformador del Shaod. Hace diez años, sin previo aviso, la magia fracasó. Los elantrians se volvieron criaturas sin poder, como leprosos, y el propio Elantris oscuro, sucio y desmoronado.

The four books of the Summa contra Gentiles were written by Thomas Aquinas between 1259-1265, before the considerably larger and more influential, Summa Theologica.

To that purpose, Aquinas presented arguments ‘refuting specific beliefs or heresies.'

This new edition of a best-selling evangelical survey of the Old Testament has been thoroughly updated and retains the pedagogical features that have made the work so popular.

La invitación a un crucero de lujo, que zarpa de Londres rumbo a los fiordos noruegos, es como un sueño hecho realidad para Laura Blacklock, una joven periodista en horas bajas.
