Alle Sterne müssen fallen. Blutend, verloren, gebrochen–aber wir haben überlebt. Und wir werden weiterkämpfen. Doch kann sich das Schicksal jemals wieder zu unseren Gunsten wenden, nachdem uns so viel genommen wurde? Meine Schwester und ich wurden von Schatten und Verzweiflung auseinandergerissen, und jetzt kämpfen wir beide allein. Unser Kummer ist wie ein Netz, das uns eng umschließt, und ich fürchte, dass unsere Feinde bald kommen werden, um sich an unseren Seelen zu laben.

I’m no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I’m willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it. I just never expected to face him beneath those trees.

La casa de Piranesi no es un edificio cualquiera: sus habitaciones son monumentales, con paredes llenas de miles de estatuas, y sus pasillos, interminables. Dentro del dédalo de corredores hay un océano aprisionado en el que las olas retumban y las mareas inundan los aposentos.

The four Celestial Heirs will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of me and my sister. But they haven't figured out yet that we're the strongest creatures they've ever known.

Hell Week has begun. Senior students have been tasked with making the freshmen's lives pure torture as we prepare to face The Reckoning—the assessment that will decide whether we stay at Zodiac Academy or lose our places here forever.

It looks like our enemies could be more powerful than we ever realised.

The shadows are in my blood. I can feel them crawling through me, slithering under my skin and taking me hostage. But the darkness within me isn't nearly as bad as the darkness that lives around me.

The stars have cursed us all. After the devastating events at Zodiac Academy, we have to deal with this hollow reality we're faced with. Lionel seeks to destroy us, the Nymphs seek to destroy the entire Fae race, and between all of it, we have to try and survive each day and prove our worth in this forsaken place. I'm afraid of everything falling apart, but it looks like it already has. Death lurks around every corner, and it wants to claim me and my sister. But together, we will overcome the darkness that seeks to defeat us.

The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don't know what's coming. We have to be smart. Fighting them one on one isn't an option so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won't be easy, but if we pull it off, they'll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Nel mezzo delle guerre napoleoniche la magia è completamente scomparsa in Inghilterra finché il signor Norrell non rivela pubblicamente le sue abilità di mago fino ai salotti dell'alta società di Londra, dove mette i suoi poteri al servizio dei politici. E poi arriva il giovane e audace Jonathan Strange, che prima diventa il discepolo del signor Norrell e poi ne diventa acerrimo nemico. Nel corso degli anni, la battaglia fra i due si fa più accesa di quella dell'Inghilterra contro Napoleone.

As more secrets come to light, and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birthright, the end is finally drawing closer. The curse chases on our heels as time rushes by, and the blood-drenched destiny of the man I love looms ever closer just like the monster who stole our throne. We must prepare for the final battle, but three things are clear now—the cards have already been dealt, blood will spill for a new future to rise, and the stars themselves can’t help us.

Fate has torn us apart, and, sometimes, I believe the stars have given up on us altogether. Without my sister, the world seems darker than ever before, and the shadows loom thicker, rising up to answer the call of the Shadow Princess, and changing the face of Solaria for good. I’m afraid we’re almost out of time. Hope is a dangerous thing. It’s the key to us fighting on. But it could be what destroys us in the end. One thing is for certain, I won’t stop until I have been reunited with my other half, and together we will fight to take our crowns. A war is coming.
