A combined omnibus version of Fiona Wimber's local trilogy, the Bridge of the Gods series in its entirety. In the area now known as the Pacific Northwest, two brothers, Wyeast and Pahtoe, arrive in turmoil. Their father, the great god Sahale swears them to peace, but this is not destined to last. To survive, the pair must endure hardships unlike anything ever faced before or since with their only connection being their shared brotherhood and their faith. From the wrath of the great god Sahale, to great earthquakes that destroy the coast and fracture tribes, to a civil war and a forbidden love that threatens to tear the brothers apart, things will never be the same once the brothers arrive in the Pacific Northwest. Friendships will be tested, enemies will become friends and for one brother, their humanity will be lost forever. Meanwhile, a new threat looms on the horizon, a threat that comes from both east and west. With the brothers divided on strategy, their only hope lies in the Velchanos, an ancient power Sahale left behind to combat the darkest of the gods. But one thing is for sure, the tribe's home of the Pacific Northwest will never be the same again.

The story is based on a fictional disaster that occurred in Peru on July 20, 1714. A rope bridge woven by the Incas on the road between Lima and Cuzco collapsed when five people were crossing it. They all fell into the river from a great height and were killed. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan friar who was about to cross the bridge himself, witnessed the tragedy. Being deeply pious, he saw in what happened a possible divine providence. Did the dead deserve to have their lives cut short in such a terrible way? The monk tries to learn as much as he can about the five victims, finding and questioning people who knew them. As a result of years of investigation, he compiles a voluminous book with all the evidence he has gathered that the beginning and end of human life are part of God's plan... The Bridge of San Luis Rey won the 1928 Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, and remains widely acclaimed as Wilder's most famous work. In 1998, the book was rated number 37 by the editorial board of the American Modern Library on the list of the 100 best 20th-century novels. Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe—and built her back up again. At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
