Lena a Ethan přežili den, kterého se obávali celé měsíce - Leniny šestnácté narozeniny –, ale stálo je to hodně. Po smrti svého strýce, kterou si klade za vinu, je Lena sklíčená a ztracená a Ethan jí zjevně nedokáže nijak pomoci. Dívka se od něj začíná odtahovat a vrhá se po hlavě do nebezpečí, zatímco Ethan, který stále ještě nechápe, co se to s ním o Leniných šestnáctých narozeninách stalo, se pohrouží do studia zaklínačů a do výzkumu, který prováděla jeho matka, aby našel způsob, jak Lenu zachránit, než bude příliš pozdě. Jenže jakmile někdo vstoupí do světa zaklínačů, není cesty zpátky, a některá tajemství, která Ethan odhalí, ohrozí jeho i jeho blízké mnohem víc, než si vůbec dokáže představit.

Ethan Wate si myslel, že si už zvykl na podivné, nemožné události, které se poslední dobou dějí v jeho rodném Gatlinu, jižanském zapadákově. Jenže teď, když se Ethan a Lena vrátili domů, slova podivné a nemožné získala úplně nový význam. Gatlin sužují záplavy kobylek, rekordní horka a pustošivé bouře, zatímco se Ethan s Lenou snaží pochopit důsledky Lenina zásadního rozhodnutí. A s ubíhajícím časem začíná být jasná jediná otázka: Co – nebo koho – je třeba obětovat pro záchranu Gatlinu?

Záhadné sny Ethana Wata sa stále viac menia na vízie, ktoré sa mu priamo pred očami zjavujú už aj pri plnom vedomí. Lena sa mu stále viac vzďaľuje a on netuší, čo sa s ňou vlastne deje. Bezmocne sleduje, ako mu láska preteká pomedzi prsty a uniká nev edno kam. Nechápe, že sa ho Lena snaží len chrániť. Pred temnými zaklínačmi, no i sama pred sebou. Zelená v jej očiach sa postupne mení na zlatú farbu zaklínačov a nikto netuší, či v nej nakoniec nevyhrá jej mocná matka. Ethan preniká hlbšie a hlbšie do sveta zaklínačov, odhaľuje skryté pravdy a stáročia dobre skrývaný systém podzemných chodieb, ktorý sa nikde nezačína ani nekončí. Alebo azda áno? Nájde Ethan Veľkú bariéru na pokraji všetkých vecí? Podarí sa mu zachrániť Lenu pred ňou samou i pr ed jej vlastnou matkou? Zvíťazí v jej očiach zelená, alebo zlatá?

Na Jacksonovej strednej škole v Gatline sa zastavil čas. Mestečko žije spomienkami na zlatý vek otrokárskeho Juhu. Všetko nasvedčuje, že druhý ročník prinesie Ethanovi Watovi len ďalšie sklamania a nudu. Ani doma to nemá ružové. Nedávno mu zomrela mama, otec sa uzavrel pred svetom a z pracovne vychádza len na raňajky a zásadne v pyžame. Ethan je rozhodnutý zmiznúť z tohto Bohom zabudnutého kraja hneď, ako to bude čo len trocha možné. No zrazu sa odvšadiaľ začne ozývať neznáma pieseň, sny takmer nerozoznateľné od skutočnosti sa vracajú čoraz častejšie a krásne čiernovlasé dievča z týchto snov sa jedného dňa objaví priamo pred bránou gatlinskej strednej školy. Lena Duchannesová je neter miestneho vydedenca Macona Ravenwooda. Je iná ako ostatní, i keď zúfalo túži žiť ako obyčajné dievča. Snaží sa utajiť svoje schopnosti aj kliatbu, ktorá už celé generácie prenasleduje jej rodinu, no niečo také sa nedá navždy skryť ani v zarastených záhradách, kalných močiaroch a spustnutých cintorínoch hlbokého Juhu. Lenin príchod rozvíri stojaté vody Gatlinu. Čelí nielen rodinnej kliatbe, ale aj predsudkom starousadlíkov, ktorí sa bránia všetkému, čo sa vychyľuje zo zabehaných pravidiel. Ethan si postupne začína uvedomovať, aké silné puto ho k Lene viaže. Snaží sa ju chrániť pred útokmi spolužiakov, no uchrániť ju pred rodinnou kliatbou bude oveľa ťažšie.
