England has been radically changed by a series of catastrophes - large cities have disappeared, and London has been replaced by a lagoon. The surviving population exists in fortified towns where they cling to traditional ways, while strangely evolved beasts prowl the wilderness beyond.

Only a few fight back - and two of these outlaws, Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne, display an audacity and talent that makes them legends.

Heißersehnt, atemberaubend spannend, umwerfend komisch, unwiderstehlich... Im Prequel zur fantastischen Bartimäus-Trilogie darf Bartimäus, der Dschinn aller Dschinns, in seiner unnachahmlich bescheidenen Weise seine ruhmreiche Vergangenheit präsentieren – die sogar seine späteren Heldentaten mit Nathanael beinahe in den Schatten stellt. Schließlich hat Bartimäus seinerzeit nur den Besten der Besten und Hochwohlgeborenen gedient: Mächtige Magier und wunderschöne Königinnen waren seine Gebieter – und mit dem berühmten König Salomon stand er sogar auf Du und Du.

Bartimäus – das furiose Finale des brillanten Fantasy-Abenteuers! 2000 Jahre sind vergangen, seit Bartimäus auf der Höhe seiner Macht war. Heute, gefangen in der Welt der Magier, spürt er seine Kräfte schwinden. Doch noch will Nathanael ihn nicht aus seinen Diensten entlassen. Unterdessen eignet sich die Widerständlerin Kitty Jones geheimes Wissen über Magie und Dämonen an. Sie will erreichen, dass der ewige Kampf zwischen Dschinn und Menschen beendet wird. Doch dann wird London von einer bislang unbekannten Macht angegriffen und Nathanael, Kitty und Bartimäus müssen der größten Gefahr der Geschichte der Zauberei entgegentreten.

"Klar habe ich damit gerechnet, dass mich eines Tages wieder irgendein Schwachkopf mit spitzem Hut beschwört, aber doch nicht derselbe wie beim letzten Mal!" Der junge ehrgeizige Nathanael strebt eine Karriere im von Zauberern beherrschten britischen Weltreich an. Doch die immer dreistere Widerstandsbewegung der "Gewöhnlichen" macht der Regierung schwer zu schaffen. Und dann versetzt auch noch ein Golem London in Angst und Schrecken.

A sei mesi da quella terribile notte, in cui Anthony, Lucy e George sopravvissero in una casa infestata da fantasmi, l'agenzia di acchiappafantasmi Lockwood & Co. non ha più fatto molti progressi.

La sfida ruoterà intorno al mistero di Mr.

Da più di cinquant'anni, Londra è scossa da quello che i suoi abitanti chiamano genericamente 'Il Problema', ovvero un'epidemia di fantasmi che ha infestato tutta l'Inghilterra. Gli unici a poter vedere, sentire e combattere gli spiriti maligni sono i ragazzini, arruolati nelle numerose agenzie di acchiappafantasmi. Ed è proprio alla ricerca di un lavoro che Lucy Carlyle, una giovane e talentuosa agente, si reca nella capitale, ma finisce per essere assunta dall'agenzia più piccola e sgangherata di tutte. Per salvarla c'è solo una possibilità, accettare un incarico molto speciale.
