A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFor fans of S.A. Chakraborty, Robin Hobb, and Martha Wells's Witch King, a page-turning standalone fantasy of necromancy and cursed magic from Jenn Lyons, the acclaimed author of The Ruin of Kings. 'Incredibly compelling magical ideas pairs with deeply terrifying monsters' – Daniel M. Ford, author of The Warden Centuries ago, necromancy almost destroyed the world. That’s how history remembers it. History remembers it wrong. Mathaiik has studied all his life to join the sacred order of the Idallik Knights, charged with defending their world from the forces of necromancy. Only vestiges of that cursed magic remain – nothing like the fabled days of the Grim Lords, the undead wizards who once nearly destroyed the world. Until monsters once more begin to wake. But something about them is even stranger: whole forests coming alive and devouring anyone so foolish as to trespass, formerly peaceful animals mutating into savage carnivores . . . the land itself has turned upon humanity and the Knights are powerless to stop it. It’s a good thing, then, that the Grim Lords were never truly destroyed. One of their number sleeps below the Knights' very fortress. And when an army of twisted tree monsters attacks the young initiates in his charge, Math decides to do the unthinkable: he wakes her up.

'A Tolkienesque journey through a gorgeous, shimmering world... Venetia Constantine is a bright new star' - Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree***Leilani Stellarion is cursed. The last of a ruined bloodline, she’s shunned for her volatile Starborn magic, which grants her prophetic visions but is slowly corrupting her mind. Branded a pariah, Leilani is blamed for the Sickening, a wasting curse that fractured the realms of Arcelia and plunged them into war. When her dying mother’s health deteriorates and a forced marriage threatens her future, Leilani seizes the chance to reclaim her fate. A prophecy speaks of an ancient relic that could end the Sickening – and she’s determined to find it. To retrieve the sceptre, she must survive the deadly climb to the Astral Mountain, forge alliances with enemies, outwit rebel forces, and navigate her own treacherous feelings for a rival envoy, which grow under the watchful eye of her betrothed. Hunted by a vengeful spectre and haunted by her magic, Leilani must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice in the name of redemption – before her powers consume her. ***Praise for Venetia Constantine:'As dazzling as starlight, Constantine is a debut whose star is soaring' - Saara El-Arifi, bestselling author of Faebound'A tale that promises not just breathtaking adventure, but also the kind of emotional depth and resonance that lingers long after the page is turned' - Susan Stokes-Chapman, bestselling author of Pandora'Every inch of Constantine's world dazzles with magic and depth... it has all the makings of a fantasy sensation' - Frances White, Sunday Times bestselling author of Voyage of the Damned'Constantine’s gorgeous prose is an arrow straight to the heart.

Hades, a holtak istene nem áll senki oldalára, és nem szegi meg a szabályokat. Elveiben nincs kivétel - sem isten, sem halandó, de még a szeretője, Persephone, a tavasz istennője kedvéért sem. A félelem általában elejét veszi a megtorlásnak. De most nem elég. Amikor Hera, a nők istennője felajánlja Hadesnak a lehetőséget, hogy segítsen neki megbuktatni Zeust, ő nemet mond. Hera azonban nem viseli jól az elutasítást: büntetésből próbák sorozatára ítéli a holtak istenét. Mitikus szörnyetegek lemészárlása és halálos ereklyék visszaszerzése - minden egyes próbatétel lehetetlenebbnek tűnik az előzőnél, és egyre inkább elvonja Hades figyelmét Persephonéról. Csakhogy a tavasz istennője is saját tragédiájával küzd, amely megingatja abban a hitében, hogy lehet-e egyáltalán az Alvilág királynője.

A nagymama halála után June különös nyomokra bukkan, amelyek követésével talán anyja rejtélyes eltűnésére is magyarázatot kaphat. Ehhez viszont kénytelen a józan ész határait meghaladó dolgokban hinni. Talán már nála is bekopogtatott az őrület? Vagy igaza volt a nagymamájának, aki azt állította, ő nem beteg, csupán egyszerre van két helyen? Adrienne Young első, felnőtteknek szóló regénye felejthetetlen romantikus történet egy csipetnyi misztikummal és egy leheletnyi mágiával fűszerezve.
