Kamui and Fuma have made their decisions and chosen their sides, but at an appalling cost. A traumatized Kamui needs the kind of healing that only a powerful psychic can provide. He goes to visit the seer Hinoto, and although her visions bring him clarity, they also unearth painful memories from deep within his past. Fortunately, there's time for reflection as both sides of the conflict regroup: Kamui and other Dragons of Heaven attend school at CLAMP Academy, while Fuma finds his place among the Dragons of Earth.

As the gears of fate turn, Kamui draws ever closer to the moment when he must make his inevitable choice: become either humanity's savior or its scourge. After his last surviving blood relative sacrifices herself to bring forth the Sacred Sword, the weapon he will need in the war to come, that moment finally arrives. With Kamui's decision, however, come unimaginable consequences for Fuma and Kotori. Meanwhile, the members of both sides of the conflict - the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth - converge on Tokyo, obeying the call of their intertwined destinies. Among them is Subaru Sumeragi, a powerful magic user, who arrives just in time to help Kamui see the path that he must take. But Subaru must conquer his own doubts and fears when he's finally reunited with the one person who is truly special to him - and whom he must fight to the death.

X, the epic series from CLAMP, is now available in this deluxe collector's edition. The pages have been recomposed in the original right-to-left reading order and restored to the highest quality. Each volume contains three of the original graphic novels, along with gorgeous, full-color illustrations never before published outside Japan! Japan's greatest seer, the blind prophet Hinoto, has foretold the end of the world. At the center of her prophecy is a young man named Kamui Shiro, who possesses startling psychic powers. But Kamui is far from alone in this destiny. Armies are gathering, other people with unique powers: the "Seven Seals," who seem to be Kamui's allies, and the "Seven Angels," who might be his enemies. All are somehow linked to the destruction to come, and all are now coming to Tokyo to choose sides in the upcoming battle.

Kamui Shiro is a young man followed by mystery. Taken from Tokyo by his mother when only a child, Kamui left behind his dearest friends-the gentle Kotori and her brother Fuma-in the aftermath of a terrible incident that claimed their mother's life. Returning to Tokyo after his mother's death, Kamui is a changed young man-moody and distant to his old friends, yet determined to protect them from the dark forces that swirl around him. For he is the nexus of a great cataclysm to come, and inheritor to a strange destiny that could decide the fate of the entire world.

The first ever B-format edition of Tolkien's complete Father Christmas letters, including a new introduction and rare archive materials. Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R.Tolkien's children. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches. The letters were from Father Christmas. They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how all the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house into the dining-room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house! Sometimes the Polar Bear would scrawl a note, and sometimes Ilbereth the Elf would write in his elegant flowing script, adding yet more life and humour to the stories. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by the inventiveness and 'authenticity' of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas. To mark ten years since the publication of the complete edition of Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas in 1999, this new edition is the first time the letters have been available in B format.
