Holly Black strana 5 z 10

I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear. Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

Člověk musí být dost silný na to, aby bojoval pořád dokola. Druhý díl napínavé fantasy série. Doubek je dědicem vílího trůnu a Jude musí bratříčkovi zajistit bezpečí. Právě proto k sobě připoutala podlého prince – teď už krále – Cardana a stala se šedou eminencí tahající za nitky celé říše. Král ale dělá vše, aby ji ponížil a zesměšnil, ačkoli ho lidská dívka stále více fascinuje. Když se ukáže, že chce Jude někdo v jejím okolí zradit, musí smrtelnice odhalit, kdo jí jde po krku. Dokáže se navíc vyrovnat s city, které chová ke Cardanovi?

Holly Black, jedna z najúspešnejších autoriek detskej a YA literatúry súčasnosti, odštartovala v novej trilógii príbeh o manipulácii, kráse i krutosti sveta mágie a nevyspytateľných vášňach. Jude mala len sedem rokov, keď jej rodičov brutálne zavraždili a spolu s jej dvomi sestrami ju uniesli zo sveta smrteľníkov, aby žili na Najvyššom dvore vo férskej ríši obývanej prastarými, často zákernými magickými bytosťami. O desať rokov neskôr si Jude neželá nič iné než medzi nich zapadnúť. Väčšina férov však smrteľníkmi opovrhuje. Najmä princ Cardan, najmladší a najskazenejší syn Najvyššieho kráľa. Jude sa čoraz viac zapletá do dvorných intríg a klamstiev a zisťuje, že aj ona dokáže podvádzať a prelievať krv. Ale v najvyšších kruhoch dochádza k zrade a hrozí, že Kráľovský dvor pohltí násilie. Jude preto bude riskovať vlastný život v nebezpečnom spojenectve, aby zachránila svoje sestry a samotnú ríšu. Komu sa kniha môže páčiť: Fanúšikom Holly Black (séria Magistérium) a nadšencom fantasy kníh so silnými hrdinami a hrdinkami.

Vítejte ve světě, kterému vládnou nelítostné víly! Jude bylo sedm, když jí zabili rodiče a unesli i s jejími sestrami na proradný dvůr víl. O deset let později ale netouží po ničem jiném než patřit mezi víly. A to i přes to, že je smrtelná. Většina víl lidmi pohrdá, nejvíce princ Cardan, nejmladší a nejpodlejší syn krále. Aby Jude získala vysněné místo u dvora, musí se princi postavit. Zaplete se však do intrik, a když hrozí, že násilí zničí slavný dvůr, rozhodne se pro pochybné spojenectví, které ji může stát život.

Callum Hunt má o školních prázdninách o čem přemýšlet. Šokující zjištění o své minulosti z úst nepřítele všech mágů není něco, co by se dalo jen tak hodit za hlavu, a kromě toho se musí vypořádat i s napjatým vztahem s otcem (který ho možná chce zabít) a svým domácím mazlíčkem Pohromou, který je shodou okolností Chaosem posedlé vlče. Po návratu do druhého ročníku Magisteria se problémy ještě kupí; spolužáci si od něj drží opatrný odstup a Callum se jim ani nediví. Vše vyvrcholí krádeží Alkahestu, magické rukavice, která – pokud padne do špatných rukou – může způsobit katastrofu…
