Welcome to the world of the Grisha. Kaz Brekker and his crew of deadly outcasts have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive.

Maas, Laini Taylor, Kristin Cashore and GAME OF THRONES. Winner of the Teen Choice Book Award for Book of the Year.

Kaz Brekker, un genio del crimen que regenta un antro de juegos de azar y apuestas conocido como el Club Cuervo, debe reunir a un grupo de seis personas con las habilidades necesarias para entrar (y salir) de la Corte de Hielo, una fortaleza inexpugnable que mantiene bajo llave un secreto que podría dinamitar el equilibrio de poder en el mundo. Es probable que nadie sobreviva a esta misión, pero si quiere hacerse rico más allá de lo que alcanza su imaginación, Kaz va a tener que jugárselo todo a una sola carta. Y esa carta es un Seis de Cuervos.

Many, if not most, people and institutions remain in 'the first half of life' forever, preoccupied with establishing their identity, climbing, achieving, and performing. If you knew there was a further journey, wouldn't you choose to do the 'first half' quite differently? The further journey involves challenges, mistakes, loss of control, even 'necessary suffering' because that is how we grow. This message of falling down and in fact moving up is the most counterintuitive message in most of the world religions, including and most especially Christianity. We grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right. The Companion Journal helps those who have (and those who have not) read Falling Upward to engage more deeply with the questions the book raises. Using a blend of quotes, questions for individual and group reflection, stories, and suggestions for spiritual practices, it provides a wise guide for deepening the spiritual journey - at any time of life.
