In this post-apocalyptic world, survivors are far and few between. And most of those who do survive are members of the violent gangs, predators who live in the big cities. They patrol the countryside looking for slaves, for fresh victims to bring back into the city for their favorite death sport: Arena One. The death stadium where opponents are made to fight to the death, in the most barbaric of ways. There is only one rule to the arena: no one survives. Ever. Deep in the wilderness, high up in the Catskill Mountains, 17 year old Brooke Moore manages to survive, hiding out with her younger sister, Bree.

When her sister is taken, Brooke mobilizes, uses everything at her disposal to chase down the slaverunners and get her sister back. Along the way she runs into Ben, 17, another survivor like her, whose brother was taken. Together, they team up on their rescue mission. What follows is a post-apocalyptic, action-packed thriller, as the two of them pursue the slaverunners on the most dangerous ride of their lives, following them deep into the heart of New York. Along the way, if they are to survive, they will have to make some of the hardest choices and sacrifices of their lives, encountering obstacles neither of them had expected – including their unexpected feelings for each other.

In BETRAYED (Book #3 in the Vampire Journals), Caitlin Paine awakes from a deep coma to discover she has been turned. Now a true, full-bred vampire, she marvels at her new powers, including her ability to fly, and her superhuman strength. She finds that her true love, Caleb, is still by her side, waiting patiently for her to recover. She has everything she could dream of. Until it all, suddenly, goes terribly wrong.

Heartbroken, confused, Caitlin wants to curl up and die, her only consolation being in her wolf-pup Rose. Caitlin also finds consolation in her new surroundings. She finds she has been placed on a hidden island in the Hudson River – Pollepel – amidst an elite coven of teenage vampires, boys and girls alike, 24 in all, including her. She learns that this is a place for outcasts, just like her, and as she meets her new best friend, Polly, and begins her training in elite vampire combat, she realizes that she might finally have a place to call home. But a major vampire war is looming, and her brother Sam is still out there, kidnapped by Samantha. The evil Kyle, too, now wielding the mythical Sword, is still on the warpath, and he will stop at nothing to wipe out New York. Caitlin, despite her new home, and despite her finding a new love interest in the elusive vampire Blake, knows that she can only stay on this island for so long before her destiny calls.

In BETROTHED (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals), Caitlin and Caleb find themselves, once again, back in time – this time, in the London of 1599. London in 1599 is a wild place, filled with paradoxes: while on the one hand it is an incredibly enlightened, sophisticated time, breeding playwrights like Shakespeare, on the other, it is also barbaric and cruel, with daily public executions, torture, and heads of prisoners impaled on spikes. It is also a time of superstition and grave public danger, with a lack of sanitation, and the Bubonic Plague spreading in the streets, carried by rats. In this environment Caitlin and Caleb land, on the search for her father, for the third key, for the mythical shield that can save humankind. Their mission takes them through a whirlwind of London’s most amazing medieval architecture, through the British countryside’s most breathtaking castles. It takes them back into the heart of London, where they just might meet Shakespeare himself, and see one of his plays live. It brings them to a little girl, Scarlet, who just might become their daughter. And all the while, Caitlin’s love for Caleb deepens, as finally they are together – and as Caleb might just finally find the perfect time, and place, to propose to her. Sam and Polly have traveled back, too, and as they find themselves stuck together on their own journey, their relationship deepens, as they each, despite themselves, can’t help feeling more deeply for each other. But all is not well. Kyle has come back, too, as has his evil sidekick, Sergei, and they are both intent on destroying everything good in Caitlin’s life. It will be a race to the finish, as Caitlin is forced to make some of the hardest decisions of her life if she is to save everyone who is dear to her, save her relationship with Caleb – and try to make it out alive

At the same time, the new boy, the mysterious Sage, comes into her life. Their paths keep intertwining, and although she tries to avoid it, he directly pursues her, despite the objections of her best friend, Maria, who’s convinced Scarlet is stealing Sage.

As their relationship deepens, she begins to learn more about his mysterious past, his family, and the secrets he must hold. They spend the most romantic time she can imagine, on a secluded island in the Hudson, and she is convinced she has found the true love of her life. But then she is devastated to learn Sage’s biggest secret of all: he is not human, either, and he has only a few weeks left to live. Tragically, just at the moment when destiny has brought her greatest love, it also seems fated to take him away. As Scarlet returns to the high school parties leading up to the big dance, she ends up in a huge falling-out with her friends, who excommunicate her from their group. At the same time, Vivian rounds up the popular girls to make her life hell, leading to an unavoidable confrontation. Scarlet’s forced to sneak out, making matters worse with her parents, and soon finds pressure building from all sides. The only light in her life is Sage.

She desperately needs to know if he has survived their trip back in time. She learns that her mission requires her to go to Florence, but if she wants to pursue matters of the heart, she must go to Venice. She chooses Venice. Caitlin is overwhelmed at what she finds. Venice of the eighteenth century is a surreal place, men and women dressed in elaborate costumes and masks, celebrating an endless, lavish party. She is thrilled to discover and reunite with some of her close friends, and to be welcomed back into their coven. And she is excited to join them in Venice’s Grand Ball, the most important costume dance of the year, where she hopes, once again, to find Caleb.

In FOUND (Book #8 of the Vampire Journals), Caitlin and Caleb awake in ancient Israel, in the year 33 A.D., and are amazed to find themselves in the time of Christ. Ancient Israel is a place of holy sites, of ancient synagogues, of lost relics. It is the most spiritually charged place in the universe – and in 33 A.D., the year of Christ’s crucifixion, it is the most spiritually charged time. In the heart of its capitol, Jerusalem, lies the Holy Temple of Solomon, inside of which sits the Holy of Holies and the Ark of God. And in these streets, Christ will take his final steps to be crucified. Jerusalem teems with people of all religious backgrounds and faiths, under the watchful eye of Roman soldiers, and their Prefect, Pontius Pilate. The city also has a dark side, with its labyrinthian streets and maze of alleyways leading to hidden secrets and Pagan temples. Caitlin now, finally, has all four keys, but still, she must find her father. Her search takes her to Nazareth, to Capernaum, to Jerusalem, following a mystical trail of secrets and clues in the footsteps of Christ. It also takes her to the ancient Mount of Olives, to Aiden and his coven, and to more powerful secrets and relics than she’s ever known. At every turn, her father is just a step away. But time is of the essence: Sam, turned to the dark side, has landed back in this time, too, and as he unites with Rexius, leader of the evil coven, they race to beat Caitlin to the Shield. Rexius will stop at nothing to destroy Caitlin and Caleb, and with Sam on his side, and a new army behind him, the odds are in his favor. Making matters worse, Scarlet arrives back in time alone, separated from her parents. She roams the streets of Jerusalem on her own, with Ruth, and as she begins to discover her own powers, she also finds herself in graver danger than she’s ever been. Especially when she discovers that she is holding a great secret, too. Does Caitlin find her father? Does she find the ancient vampire shield? Does she reunite with her daughter? Does her own brother try to kill her? And will her love with Caleb survive this final trip back in time?

Hon får veta att hennes uppdrag kräver att hon tar sig till Florence, men om hon vill följa sitt hjärta, måste hon ta sig till Venedig. Hon väljer Venedig. Caitlin är överväldigad av vad hon hittar. Venedig på artonhundratalet är en surrealistisk plats, där män och kvinnor är klädda i detaljerade kostymer och masker, och firar en oändlig, frikostig fest. Hon är överlycklig av att hitta och återförenas med några av hennes nära vänner, och bli välkommen tillbaka in i deras klan. Och hon ser fram emot att gå med dem till Venedigs Grand Ball, den viktigaste maskeraden på hela året, där hon hoppas att, återigen, hitta Caleb. Men Caitlin är inte den enda som kan resa bakåt i tiden: snart kommer Kyle, och är fast besluten att hitta henne och döda henne en gång för alla. Sam anländer också, fast besluten att rädda sin syster innan det är för sent. På Balen letar Caitlin överallt, men hittar inget spår efter Caleb. Det vill säga, tills den sista dansen. Hon dansar med en maskerad man som sveper hennes hjärta med sig, och hon känner sig säker på att det är han. Men när de byter partner, förlorar hon honom igen. Eller gör hon? Caitlin känner sig snart sliten mellan de två kärlekarna i hennes liv, och upptäcker att hon måste vara försiktig med vad hon önskar. Hennes glädje av att finna vad hon vill ha, kommer bara blandad med tragedi och brustet hjärta. I ett kulminerande, actionfyllt slut, finner Caitlin sig själv stå emot sann ondska, Roms antika vampyrklan, och den mäktigaste vampyrklan som någonsin funnits. Att överleva kommer kräva alla hennes förmågor, då hon kämpar för sitt eget liv. Hon kommer vara tvungen att offra mer än någonsin, om hon ska rädda den hon älskar…

Their search begins with finding Caitlin’s father. Who was he? Why did he abandon her? As the search broadens, they are shocked by what they discover about who she really is. But they are not the only ones searching for the legendary sword. The Blacktide Coven wants it, too, and they are close on Caitlin and Caleb’s trail. Worse, Caitlin’s little brother, Sam, remains obsessed with finding his Dad. But Sam soon finds himself in way over his head, smack in the middle of a vampire war. Will he jeopardize their search? Caitlin and Caleb’s journey takes them on a whirlwind of historic locations – from the Hudson Valley, to Salem, to the heart of historic Boston – the very spot where witches were once hung on the hill of Boston Common. Why are these locations so important to the vampire race? And what do they have to do with Caitlin’s ancestry, and with who she’s becoming? But they may not even make it. Caitlin and Caleb’s love for each other is blossoming. And their forbidden romance may just destroy everything they’ve set out to achieve…

She is becoming sensitive to light, able to read peoples’ thoughts, and is faster and stronger than she’s ever been. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her, and tries to ignore it. But she can only dismiss it for so long. Caitlin Paine, her mom, knows too well what’s happening to her daughter. She underwent the same transformation to vampire once, centuries ago.

In the wake of the dragon’s attack, Kyra is sent on an urgent quest: to cross Escalon and seek out her uncle in the mysterious Tower of Ur. The time has come for her to learn about who she is, who her mother is, and to train and develop her special powers. It will be a quest fraught with peril for a girl alone, Escalon filled with dangers from savage beasts and men alike – one that will require all of her strength to survive. Her father, Duncan, must lead his men south, to the great water city of Esephus, to attempt to free his fellow countrymen from the iron grip of Pandesia. If he succeeds, he will have to journey to the treacherous Lake of Ire and then onto the icy peaks of Kos, where there live the toughest warriors of Escalon, men he will need to recruit if he has any chance of taking the capital. Alec escapes with Marco from The Flames to find himself on the run through the Wood of Thorns, chased by exotic beasts. It is a harrowing journey through the night as he quests for his hometown, hoping to be reunited with his family. When he arrives, he is shocked by what he discovers. Merk, despite his better judgment, turns back to help the girl, and finds himself, for the first time in his life, entangled in a stranger’s affairs. He will not forego his pilgrimage to the Tower of Ur, though, and he finds himself anguished as he realizes the tower is not what he expects. Vesuvius spurs his giant as he leads the Trolls on their mission underground, attempting to bypass The Flames, while the dragon, Theos, has his own special mission on Escalon.

«…Главнокомандующий широко улыбнулся, сдерживая нетерпение. «Так кто же из вас это был?» – спросил он. «Кто убил надзирателя?» Дариус смотрел на него с непроницаемым лицом, но внутри он весь дрожал. «Подойдите поближе командир, и я скажу вам его имя». Тот сделал шаг, и в этот момент весь мир для Дариуса застыл. Дрожащими руками он потянулся вниз и достал из-за пояса кинжал. Стальной кинжал, из настоящей стали, который ему дал кузнец, и который он всё это время прятал. Он бросился вперёд, и под испуганный вздох старейшин и всего своего народа вонзил кинжал по самую рукоять прямо главнокомандующему в грудь. Глаза имперца округлились от удивления и ужаса, он упал на колени, не в силах поверить в то, что такое вообще могло произойти. «Ты никогда не забудешь имя преступника», – сказал Дариус, стоя над ним…»

«Кейтлин Пейн мчалась по Вест-Сайд-Хайвей, намереваясь добраться до Клойстерс ещё до закрытия. Голова шла кругом от мыслей о тех проблемах, с которыми столкнулась Скарлет, проблемах, которые не должны беспокоить обычных подростков. Скарлет менялась, и Кейтлин знала это наверняка. Она больше не была простым человеком, и с каждым днём ей становилось всё хуже. Кейтлин чувствовала, что дочь превращалась в того, кем когда-то была сама Кейтлин, – вампира. Конечно, Кейтлин этого не помнила, но исходя из того, что она прочла в собственном дневнике, найденном ею на чердаке – в её журнале вампира – она знала, что была права. Если её дневник не был выдумкой, а ей казалось, что все события, описанные в нём, были правдой, тогда получается, что однажды она сама была вампиром, но ей удалось от этого излечиться и попасть в настоящее, в нормальную жизнь, нормальную семью и полностью забыть о своей прошлой жизни…»

«С мокрыми от слёз глазами Кейтлин Пейн сидела в гостиной и смотрела на кроваво-красный закат. Измотанная, она едва слышала голоса полицейских, заполнивших комнату. Она была словно во сне. Медленно оглядев гостиную, она увидела, как много – слишком много – людей здесь собралось. Полицейские бродили по комнате: некоторые сидели, некоторые стояли, у некоторых в руках были чашки с кофе. С серьёзными лицами они сидели напротив неё, заполнив своими телами все диваны и кресла и обрушивая на Кейтлин нескончаемый поток вопросов. Они были здесь уже несколько часов. Все в этом небольшом городке знали друг друга, и Кейтлин знала всех этих полицейских, она виделась с ними в супермаркете и здоровалась в магазинах. Ей не верилось, что сейчас они были здесь. В её доме. Происходящее походило на ночной кошмар…»

«Кира молча медленно шла через поле кровавой бойни, рассматривая оставленное драконами разрушение, снег хрустел под ее сапогами. Тысячи людей Лорда – мужчин, которых в Эскалоне опасались больше всего – лежали мертвыми перед ней, они были уничтожены в одно мгновение. Обугленные тела вокруг нее все еще дымились, под ними таял снег, их лица были искажены от боли. Скелеты, скрученные в неестественных позах, по-прежнему сжимали оружие в своих костлявых пальцах. Несколько мертвых тел стояли на месте, их тела каким-то образом остались в вертикальном положении, они все еще смотрели в него, словно не понимая, что их убило…»

«Кира стояла на вершине травянистого холма, упираясь ногами в замерзшую твердую почву. На нее падал снег, пока она пыталась игнорировать жалящий холод, подняв свой лук и сконцентрировавшись на мишени. Девушка прищурилась, отгородилась от остального мира – от порыва ветра, от криков отдаленных птиц – и заставила себя сосредоточиться только на тощей березе с белой корой, которая стояла вдалеке посреди ландшафта фиолетовых сосен. Сорок ярдов – это был выстрел, который оказался не под силу ни ее братьям, ни даже людям ее отца, и именно он сделал ее более решительной. Она была самой младшей в группе, единственной девушкой среди них…»

«Бывают дни, когда жизнь кажется просто замечательной. Тогда мир погружается в тишину, спокойствие накрывает тебя с головой так, что кажется, что ты вот-вот исчезнешь, а умиротворение позволяет забыть обо всех печалях. О страхе. О мыслях о завтрашнем дне. Чтобы пересчитать такие моменты, мне хватит пальцев одной руки. И сейчас один из них…»

«Рис стоял с кинжалом в руке, вонзенным в грудь Тируса, который застыл в момент потрясения. Весь окружающий мир замедлился, вся жизнь стала размытым пятном. Рис только что убил своего злейшего врага, человека, ответственного за смерть Селезе. Он ощущал огромное чувство удовлетворения и возмездия. Наконец, справедливость восторжествовала. В то же самое время Рис словно онемел по отношению к миру, у него появилось странное ощущение, словно он собирался встретиться со смертью. Рис приготовился к смерти, которая наверняка последует. Зал был полон людей Тируса, каждый из которых стоял, также застыв от потрясения, став свидетелями этого происшествия. Рис был готов к смерти. Он ни о чем не жалел. Он был благодарен за то, что ему представился шанс убить этого человека, который осмелился вообразить, что Рис когда-нибудь и правда принесет ему свои извинения…»

«Гвендолин съежилась на холодном хлещущем ветру, когда ступила на край Каньона и сделала свой первый шаг на арочный мост, растянувшийся над Северным Пересечением. Этот шаткий мост, покрытый льдом, поддерживала изношенная веревка и рейки. Казалось, что он едва ли может удержать их. Сделав первый шаг, Гвен съежилась. Гвендолин поскользнулась и, протянув руку, схватилась за поручень, который раскачивался и с трудом помогал. Ее сердце ушло в пятки, когда она подумала о том, что этот хрупкий мост был их единственной возможностью пересечь северную сторону Каньона, войти в Преисподнюю и найти Аргона. Подняв глаза вверх, девушка увидела, что вдали показалась Преисподняя, полотно ослепляющего снега. Пересечение показалось еще более зловещим…»

«Кейтлин Пейн очнулась в темноте. Спёртый воздух не давал ей свободно дышать. Она попыталась пошевелиться, лёжа на спине на чём-то твёрдом, холодном и мокром. Откуда-то сверху пробивался крошечный луч света. Плечи были сжаты, но, приложив некоторое усилие, она всё же смогла освободить руки. Кейтлин выставила вверх ладони и нащупала поверхность. Камень. Она продолжила скользить по ней ладонями, пытаясь угадать размер. Наконец она поняла, что находится в каком-то ящике. В гробу…»

«Хлопець стояв на найвищому пагорбі нижньої країни у Західному Королівстві Кільця, дивлячись на північ, споглядаючи схід сонця. Перед ним чередою долин та вершин розкинулися розлогі зелені пагорби, подібні до верблюжих горбів. Яскраві помаранчеві промені першого сонця затримувалися та виблискували у ранковому тумані, надаючи світлу магії, яка відповідала настрою хлопця. Він рідко вставав так рано або заходив так далеко від дому та ніколи не піднімався так високо, знаючи, що це викличе гнів його батька. Але цього дня він не думав про це. Цього дня він знехтував мільйонами правил та обов’язків, які гнітили його усі чотирнадцять років життя. Цей день був іншим. У цей день до нього прийшла доля…»

«Кейтлин разбудило слепящее, кроваво-красное солнце. Оно заполняло собой всё небо, вися огромным яблоком на горизонте. На фоне него стояла одинокая фигура. Кейтлин знала, что это был отец. Раскрыв руки для объятий, он ждал, когда она бросится к нему навстречу. Кейтлин и сама хотела как можно скорее его обнять. Она попыталась сесть, но сразу же увидела, что прикована цепями к скале, и железные оковы крепко держат её руки и ноги. В одной руке она держала три ключа, те ключи, которые понадобятся ей для того, чтобы найти отца, а в другой – свой небольшой серебряный крестик. Как она ни старалась, сдвинуться с места у Кейтлин не получалось…»

«Гвендолин лежала на траве лицом вниз, чувствуя, как холодный зимний ветер пробегает по ее голой коже, и когда она распахнула глаза, перед ней медленно предстал отдаленный мир. Она находилась в каком-то далеком месте, в поле цветов, залитом солнечным светом, где рядом с ней были Тор и ее отец – все они были счастливы и смеялись. В мире все было идеально. Но теперь, когда девушка открыла глаза, мир перед ней не мог отличаться еще больше. Земля была твердой, холодной, и над ней стоял, медленно поднявшись на ноги, не ее отец, не Тор, а монстр – МакКлауд. Покончив с ней, он медленно поднялся, застегнул свои штаны и бросил на нее удовлетворенный взгляд…»

«…Тор изо всех сил бежал по узкому горному перевалу прямо на краю скалы. Теперь они находились всего в десяти ярдах, достаточно близко, чтобы он начал вынимать меч, смог прыгнуть в воздух и начать убивать их. Тор опустил руку к рукояти своего меча… И в эту минуту это случилось. Вдруг у Тора под ногами возникло странное чувство и он начал терять равновесие. Тор посмотрел вниз и с ужасом увидел, что тропа начала разрушаться. Не успел Тор отреагировать, как дорога поддалась из-за оползня и гигантской лавины. Тор почувствовал, что он скользит, после чего начал падать прямо вниз с крутого склона. Гора сменилась грязью, смягченной дождями. Он не мог контролировать свое скольжение по грязи, он скользил все быстрее и быстрее, на сотни футов вниз. Он кричал, и его братья скользили рядом с ним…»

«Кейтлин Пейн очнулась в полной темноте. Ей было сложно открыть глаза, чтобы увидеть, где она находится. Она попыталась пошевелить руками, но и это у неё не получилось. Кейтлин чувствовала, что всё её тело было покрыто чем-то мягким, но чем именно она не могла понять. Эта мягкая субстанция была очень тяжёлой и с каждой секундой, казалось, становилась всё тяжелее. Кейтлин попыталась сделать вдох, но не смогла, осознав, что дыхательные пути были чем-то забиты…»

«Луанда бросилась через поле боя, едва успев отскочить в сторону несущегося коня, направляясь к небольшому дому, где находился король МакКлауд. Девушка сжимала в дрожащей руке холодный железный клин, пересекая пыльную дорогу этого города, который она когда-то знала, город своего народа. Все эти месяцы она вынуждена была наблюдать за тем, как ее людей безжалостно убивают, но теперь с нее довольно. Что-то внутри нее щелкнуло. Луанду больше не волновало, что ей придется выступить против целой армии МакКлауда – она сделает все возможное, чтобы его остановить. Луанда знала – то, что она собирается сделать, является настоящим безумием, она рискует своей жизнью, потому что, вероятно, МакКлауд ее убьет. Но, продолжая бежать, девушка гнала от себя эти мысли. Пришло время поступить правильно – любой ценой…»

В книге «КЛЯТВА БРАТЬЕВ» Торгрин и его братья покидают мир мёртвых и, полные решимости отыскать Гувейна, плывут по бушующему морю в места, о которых не могли даже мечтать. Чем ближе они будут к Гувейну, тем больше невероятных препятствий будут преграждать их путь, испытывая их на прочность. Им придётся вспомнить всё, чему их учили, и ещё больше сплотиться, чтобы действовать как единое целое. Дариус противостоит Империи, бесстрашно освобождая одну рабскую деревню за другой и собирая собственную армию. Он не отступает ни перед укреплёнными городами, ни перед армией, в тысячу раз превосходящей по числу его воинов. Он использует все свои инстинкты и храбрость, и настроен выжить и победить, не оставляя борьбу за свободу любой ценой, даже ценой своей жизни. У Гвендолин не остаётся другого выбора, кроме как повести свой народ через Великую Пустошь, вглубь Империи, куда раньше никто не отваживался заходить, в поисках легендарного Второго Кольца – последней надежды на выживание её народа, и последней надежды для Дариуса. Но на пути ей встречаются ужасающие чудовища, безжалостная стихия и раскол среди её людей, который даже ей едва ли по силам остановить. Эрек и Алистер отплывают в Империю на помощь своему народу и по пути останавливаются на скрытых островах, намереваясь собрать там армию, и не брезгуют легионерами с сомнительной репутацией. Годфри оказывается в глубине города Волусии, где его ждут немало трудностей, ведь его план на грани провала. Его сажают в тюрьму и приговаривают к казни, и даже он уже не видит выхода из этой ситуации. Волусия заключает сделку с чернейшим из всех колдунов покоряет всё новые высоты, подчиняя всех на своём пути. Могущественная, как никогда раньше, она шаг за шагом продвигается к столице Империи, пока наконец не сталкивается со всей имперской армией, по сравнению с которой даже её войска выглядят недостаточно внушительно. Она готовится к исторической битве. Найдёт ли Торгрин Гувейна? Выживут ли Гвендолин и её народ? Удастся ли Годфри сбежать? Достигнут ли Эрек и Алистер Империи? Станет ли Волусия следующей императрицей? Приведёт ли Дариус свой народ к победе?

«…Диердре побежала вслед за своим отцом, сворачивая улицами и поднимаясь по каменным ступенькам, пока они, наконец, не добрались до вершины городской стены на краю моря. Девушка остановилась там рядом с ним, пораженная открывшимся видом. Перед ней словно разворачивался самый жуткий ее кошмар, зрелище, которого она никогда не видела в своей жизни: все море на горизонте было черным. Черные корабли Пандезии, расположенные так близко друг к другу, что они покрывали воду, казалось, охватили целый мир. Хуже всего то, что они все направили свою единую силу прямо на ее город. Диердре застыла, глядя на приближающуюся смерть. У них нет шанса защитить город от флота таких размеров: ни с помощью их мизерных цепей, ни с помощью мечей. Когда первые корабли достигнут каналов, они могли бы образовать пробку и, возможно, задержать их. Может быть, они смогли бы убить сотни или даже тысячи солдат. Но не миллионы, которые она видела перед собой…»
