This poignant selection of artifacts-and their stories-from September 11 provides an official, lasting record of that day's experience. In both text and photography, the story of September 11 is told through a selection of powerfully moving artifacts from the 9/11 museum's collection that serve as touchstones to the day and its aftermath. From crushed FDNY trucks to the steel that was pierced as planes struck the Twin Towers, from victims' property pulled from the wreckage and returned to families (who later donated the property to the museum) to spontaneous memorials collected from around Ground Zero, the array of objects tell complex and often surprising stories. Poignant artifacts as monumental as the Vesey Street staircase-which offered an escape for thousands fleeing the towers-and as intimate as a loved one's wedding band or last recorded phone message are selected to illuminate people's experiences during and after September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993.

Tomorrow is a big day for Jera. She turns sixteen and will receive, in a magical and mystical ritual, the power to command one of the four elements. But what Jera, nor anyone else, knows is that this midsummer's day will unleash more than the promise of an elemental power. For a centuries old prophecy will be fulfilled and a new era of pain and suffering will be unleashed upon the world. A quest is placed upon Jera; a task to find and recover the original set of runes crafted by Odin himself. But as this journey begins so does an unknown ancient enemy erupt into the lands of ancient Earth, an enemy intent on destroying everything and everyone in the magical realms of the Northern Kingdoms. And as she journeys through a dying world the prophecy remains clouded and new mysteries are revealed. Jera must find her way through a conflict that goes far beyond the mortal realm.
