Welcome to The Books of Ember! If you've
been following the story, you've traveled with two young people,
Lina and Doon, through the streets and tunnels of a dark and dying
city in THE CITY OF EMBER, and then to an isolated village about
to erupt into conflict in THE PEOPLE OF SPARKS. In the third book,
THE PROPHET OF YONWOOD, you've gone back in time, to a town where
a woman's fiery vision predicted the future.
Now it's time to bring the story to a close. In the fourth and final
book of Ember, THE DIAMOND OF DARKHOLD, Lina and Doon once again
confront a desperate situation. It's winter. Cold, hunger, and illness
have descended on the village of Sparks. When a roamer comes to
town—a rather strange roamer—Doon makes a remarkable discovery.
To him, it seems the summons to a quest. Lina isn't so sure. But
they go, and what they find changes their world.
The City of Ember is now a movie, produced by Walden Media. Bill Murray stars as the mayor.
I'm thrilled that the world of Ember
has intrigued so many readers; I've heard from people all over America
and in many other countries as well. Now I hope you'll take the
last leg of the journey with Lina and Doon and see what lies ahead
for their world—and maybe for our world, too.
