"This is what fantasy is for.” ?Laini Taylor for The New York Times on Shadow and Bone “Set in a fascinating, unique world rich with detail, Shadow and Bone was unlike anything I've ever read. Alina is a clever, sympathetic character I will gladly follow into the next installment?which can't come soon enough!” ?Veronica Roth, New York Times–bestselling author of Divergent, on Shadow and Bone “Filled with lush descriptions, intriguing magic, and plenty of twists, this memorable adventure offers action and intrigue mixed with an undercurrent of romance and danger.” ?Publishers Weekly on Shadow and Bone “A heady blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure.” ?Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series, on Siege and Storm “A well-drawn world, full of deceit and mythology, populated by entirely believable characters. Full of truly surprising twists and turns, beautiful imagery and a protagonist it's impossible not to root for, this is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien.” ?RT Book Reviews on Shadow and Bone "If opener Shadow and Bone was a magical coming-of-age story and middle-volume Siege and Storm was a political thriller, then this third book is an epic quest. . . Every time readers may think she's written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously.” ?Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Ruin and Rising.

Az Éjúr rettenetes új hatalom birtokában hagyta el az Árnyzónát, és veszedelmes tervet sző, ami a végsőkig próbára teszi a természeti világ határait. Alina egy hírhedt kalóz segítségével visszatér a szeretett országba, hogy elszántan szembeszálljon a Ravkára törő erőkkel. De a ahogy hatalma növekszik, Alina úgy süllyed egyre mélyebbre a tiltott mágiába és az Éjúr játszmájába, és távolodik el egyre jobban Maltól. Választania kell hazája, a hatalom és a szerelem között, amiről mindig úgy hitte, az vezérli különben azt kockáztatja, hogy mindent elveszít a közelgő viharban."

The mesmerising adult debut from Leigh Bardugo. A tale of power, privilege, dark magic and murder set among the Ivy League elite. Alex Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class.

But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.

Because Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living . .

Az ország sora egy megtört idézőn, egy kegyvesztett nyomkeresőn és egy egykori nagy mágikus sereg szétvert maradványain múlik. Az Éjúr árnytrónján ülve uralkodik, míg a meggyengült és sebesült Alina Sztarkov igyekszik felépülni, az őt szentként imádó Apparátus kétes védelme alatt. Minden reményét egy rég eltűnt ősi lény mágiájába veti, és abba az esélybe, hogy egy bizonyos törvényen kívüli herceg még életben van. Ahogy a szövetségesei és az ellenségei a háborúba sodródnak, egyedül Alina áll az ország és világ örök rabságával fenyegető, áradó sötétség között. Hogy megnyerje ezt a harcot, meg kell szereznie egy legendás lény hatalmát - ám a tűzmadár utáni hajsza váratlan fordulatot tartogat.

Během studia musí monitorovat podivnou činnost yaleovských tajných spolků, z nichž vzešli nejvlivnější lidé světa. Jenže brzy se ukáže, že jejich okultní aktivity jsou trochu silná káva i pro ty nejotrlejší…
