"Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of curse workers, people who have the power to change emotions, memories, and luck with the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're also all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists, but not Cassel. He doesn't have magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family--except for the small detail that he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago. Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two older brothers, who are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's an unwitting pawn in a huge con game, he must unravel his past, and his memories. To find the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen"--

Callum Hunt hat alles verloren - seinen besten Freund, seine Zukunft und beinahe sich selbst. Denn er musste erfahren, dass er kein normaler Magier ist. In ihm wohnt die Seele des Zauberers, der einst der beste Schüler am Magisterium war und dann vom guten Weg abgekommen ist. Doch Call hat entschieden, dass er der bösen Magie ein für alle Mal die Stirn bieten möchte. Immerhin kann nur er das Magisterium vor dem Untergang bewahren. Nun steht sein letzter Kampf an und die Frage ist, ob Call das Böse besiegen kann - oder ob er selbst daran zerbricht.

Ein widerstrebender Prinz und eine geflohene Königin begeben sich auf eine gefährliche Suche, während sie ihre wahren Motive voreinander verbergen. In dieser magischen Dilogie von Holly Black geht es um Intrigen, Vertrauen und die Gefahren, die ein ganzes Reich bedrohen können.

Nun aber ruhen die Giganten unten auf dem Meeresgrund, die Meerjungfrauen weigern sich, sie wieder herauszugeben, und nichts kann den Angriff des Wyrm-Königs mehr verhindern. Nichts, außer … Psst! Das wird noch nicht verraten!
