“She’s the one that ends it all. I know how these prophecies go. She is the hero. She is the one. I know a savior when I see one. She’s Palidonaya’s chosen weapon.” After being thrown into a beautiful but dangerous world, Arietta has learned not only to cope with the extreme pressure of being deemed Palidonaya’s Hero but also how to work with the magic gifted to her. The devastating defeat at Lenovia, the world’s last stronghold untouched by the dragons, has given wind to the wings of a new and terrible Draconian Reign, but Arietta, Jerry, and Nova stand as a final beacon of hope that armies rally behind. The choice to be a hero, though difficult to make, is the only thing standing between Palidonaya and Draconian domination.

Stämpfli will shortly be publishing, in booklet form, an English translation of the Swiss Federal Law on Labour in Industry, Trade and Commerce incorporating the latest amendments which came into force at the beginning of 2005.
