Аннотация:
Welcome to the Dark World. Tal lives high above, in a mountaintop castle where light is the ultimate commodity, the spirit world is the only escape and isolation from the outside world is complete. He does not think to question his world. He does not dare to dream of anything else. Then one day he tries to steal a sunstone, the only way of assuring his family's safety. The attempt fails, and Tal falls from the Castle... straight into the unknown.Tal is found by Milla, an Icecarl marauder who tries immediately to kill this boy who has fallen from the sky. Tal and Milla are complete opposites — he lives in his head, she lives through action and combat. Although they do not trust each other, they must help each other get to the Castle... fighting many obstacles along the way. The world of The Seventh Tower is a remarkably intricate, imaginative one, rich in detail and intrigue Together, Tal and Milla will unravel the Castle's mysteries — and struggle to find a place for themselves. In this exciting joint effort between Lucasfilm and Scholastic, an imaginative work weaves magic, adventure, family, and honor into a fantasy world unlike one ever described before. Two worlds: one spiritual and magical, the other aggressive and warriorlike. Two young voyagers: one born to think, the other to fight. Two conflicts: the restrictions of a way of life, and the threat of death. All colliding.
