Rachel Price visszatérése - (Különleges kiadás)
A tizennyolc éves Bel egész életében egy rejtély árnyékában élt.
Tizenhat évvel ezelőtt az édesanyja, Rachel Price különös körülmények közt eltűnt, halottnak hiszi mindenki.
Ám amikor a Price család beleegyezik, hogy dokumentumfilm készüljön a megoldatlan esetről, megtörténik az elképzelhetetlen: Rachel Price hirtelen visszatér, és egy furcsa történettel áll elő.
Bel biztos benne, hogy az anyja hazudik. De ha igaza van, akkor hol volt Rachel egész idő alatt? Miközben a kamerák még forognak, Bel nyomozni kezd: miért tért vissza Rachel Price? És miért érzi úgy, hogy veszélyt jelent az egész családjára?
"- Ki vagy te? - kiáltott át neki.
A nő megállt, lassan felé fordult, pislogva igyekezett védekezni a napfény ellen.
Felelnie sem kellett.
Bel tudta. A csontjaiban, az ösztöneiben, olyan módon, amit nem lehet tanulni, csak tudni, érezni. A szíve lebukfencezett egy sziklaszirtről, egyenesen savtól kavargó gyomrába.
A kékesszürke szempár éppen olyan volt, mint az övé. Az álla finom ívű, hegyes. Hamuszürke bőre világosabb, mint amire emlékezett, ráncosabb is, hiszen tizenhat év hagyta rajta a nyomát. A homlokán a kicsi, világosbarna anyajegy.
A nő úgy nézett rá, mintha szintén tudna valamit.
Rachel Price.
Visszatért."
Az ébredés - Zodiákus Akadémia - (Különleges kiadás)
Ikrek vagyok.
Impulzív. Kíváncsi. Makacs.
Ikertestvér. Egy olyan trón örököse, amiről semmit sem tudok. És mint kiderült, tündér vagyok.
De természetesen nem ilyen egyszerű a dolog - születési jogom elhódításához nem kell mást tennem, mint hogy bizonyítsam, én vagyok Szolaria legnagyobb hatalmú természetfeletti lénye.
Ha úgy vesszük, ez igaz is, hiszen a Vad Király lánya vagyok. De az apró betűs részből kihagyták, hogy a királyság minden egyes tündére magának követelné a trónomat, ha megtehetné.
Az akadémia, ahova bezsuppoltak, kib*szottul veszélyes és pokolian menő. Vámpírok harapdálják a gyengébb diákokat a folyosókon, a vérfarkasok minden teliholdkor a Jajongó Erdőben csapnak orgiákat, és akkor még nem is beszéltem a szirénekről, akik kifacsarják az érzelmeidet. Ahogy arról sem, hogy a borzasztóan dögös főmágia-professzorom fogdabüntetései után a túlélők terápiára szorulnak.
Az órák tök érdekesek, főleg, ha élve vészeled át őket. No és az Ikrek csillagjegy, amivel az egészet kezdtem?
Ez határozza meg az elemi mágiámat, és befolyásolja a sorsomat, szóval bele kell vetnem magam az asztrológiába, ha el akarom látni az osztálytársaim baját, ami amúgy a tanmenet része.
A legnagyobb problémám a sárkányivadék, akinek láttán hevesen nyáladzani kezdek, és aki a trónomra ácsingózik, ráadásul három pszichó haverjával mindent megtesz azért, hogy pokollá változtassa az életemet.
Semmi más dolgom nincs a túlélésen kívül. De lehet, hogy a végzet máshogy gondolja.
