Mein Aufenthalt in Adrians Penthaus mit seinem Wolfs-Rudel ist vor allem eines: nervenaufreibend. Einerseits fühle ich mich wie Pretty Woman, werde auf Händen getragen und von gleich mehreren Typen verehrt – andererseits merke ich, dass mir die Zeit im Nacken steht sowie ein Canicoren-Alpha, der mich eben dort beißen und markieren möchte. Sofern ich mich denn für ihn als meinen Alpha entscheiden werde. Denn ich bin es, die hier die Regeln aufstellt, nicht Adrian.

The waters rose, submerging New York City. But the residents adapted, and it remained the bustling, vibrant metropolis it had always been. Though changed forever. Every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. Through the eyes of the varied inhabitants of one building, Kim Stanley Robinson shows us how one of our great cities will change with the rising tides. And how we, too, will change.

Il livello delle acque del mare si è alzato, sommergendo improvvisamente l'intera città di New York. Ogni strada si è trasformata in un canale, ogni grattacielo in un'isola a sé stante. Ma per i residenti di un edificio di Madison Square, la New York del 2140 è ben lontana dall'essere una metropoli isolata e perduta, e tutto sembra procedere esattamente come prima del disastro climatico.

Je näher ich Adrian kennenlerne, desto mehr Fragezeichen eröffnen sich mir. Ja, er respektiert meinen Wunsch nach Freiheit – und trotzdem fühle ich mich ein bisschen wie in einem Käfig. Zudem werde ich auf eine Art und Weise zu ihm hingezogen, die mir Gänsehaut beschert. Und da ist etwas in seinen dunklen Augen … ein Schmerz aus der Vergangenheit, der ihn immer wieder einzuholen scheint. Ob ich es bin, die ihm diesen nehmen kann?

Ex-cop. Graduate of the Magic Academy. Mage. I used to carry a badge for the NYPD. Now I carry wards stitched into my coat and a pistol loaded with rounds nobody admits exist. My old partner calls me to the High Line for a triple homicide. Three bodies. Chests crushed. Claw marks cut too deep to blame on a pit bull. Magic residue clings to the concrete. Somebody wanted the city to notice. The moment I say yes, Manhattan’s hidden world starts circling.

I thought the worst of Manhattan’s hidden world was behind me—until I stumbled on something that was a little too familiar. It carries a signature I recognized from the night my magic first awakened. It’s tearing into Zilra’s defense team, sabotaging trials, and building a case that makes me look like the one committing all these magical crimes. If it succeeds, Tessa—my key witness and the girl I dragged out of hell—gets buried right alongside the truth. Sarah Kim and SENSE want everything handled “by procedure.” But procedure isn’t something my enemies care about.

Ich, das einfache Hooters Girl, bin mit zwei scharfen Kerlen unterwegs, die sich in riesige Wölfe – oder Canicore, wie sie sich nennen – verwandeln können.

Entweder bin ich gerade auf einem Trip, der mich in ein heißes Paralleluniversum befördert hat, oder aber das hier ist der Start in ein äußerst aufregendes Leben.

Tja, da bin ich nun, in einem luxuriösen Penthouse und lerne nach und nach Adrians Rudel kennen. Fünf Betas, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten – und die mein Interesse zugegebenermaßen jeder auf seine eigene Weise wecken. Doch erst gilt es noch, mich mit Adrian irgendwie zu arrangieren. Der Alpha ist zwar bemüht, sich um mich zu kümmern, aber so richtig wohl fühle ich mich trotzdem nicht in seiner Gegenwart.
