New allies rise. The Blood Moon nears. Zélie faces her final enemy. The king who hunts her heart. When Zelie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland. Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands. But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

Sie töteten meine Mutter. Sie raubten uns die Magie. Sie zwangen uns in den Staub. Jetzt erheben wir uns. Zélies Welt war einst voller Magie. Flammentänzer spielten mit dem Feuer, Geistwandler schufen schillernde Träume, und Seelenfänger wie Zélies Mutter wachten über Leben und Tod. Bis zu der Nacht, als ihre Kräfte versiegten und der machthungrige König von Orïsha jeden einzelnen Magier töten ließ. Die Blutnacht beraubte Zélie ihrer Mutter und nahm einem ganzen Volk die Hoffnung. Jetzt hat Zélie eine einzige Chance, die Magie nach Orïsha zurückzuholen. Ihre Mission führt sie über dunkle Pfade, wo rachedurstige Geister lauern, und durch glühende Wüsten, die ihr und ihrer treuen Löwenesse alles abverlangen. Dabei muss sie ihren Feinden immer einen Schritt voraus sein. Besonders dem Kronprinzen, der mit allen Mitteln verhindern will, dass die Magie je wieder zurückkehrt …

Un tempo i maji, dalla pelle d'ebano e i capelli candidi, erano una stirpe venerata nelle lussureggianti terre di Orïsha. Ma non appena il loro legame con gli dei si spezzò e la magia scomparve, lo spietato re Saran ne approfittò per trucidarli. Zélie, che non dimentica la notte in cui vide le guardie di palazzo impiccare sua madre a un albero del giardino, ora sente giunto il momento di rivendicare l'eredità degli antenati. Al suo fianco c'è il fratello Tzain, pronto a tutto pur di proteggerla, e quando la loro strada incrocia quella dei figli del re si produce una strana alchimia tra loro. Ha inizio così un viaggio epico per cercare di riconquistare la magia, attraverso una terra stupefacente e pericolosa, dove si aggirano le leopardere delle nevi e dove gli spiriti vendicatori sono in agguato nell'acqua. Un'esperienza umana che non risparmia nessuno, in un turbine di amore e tradimento, violenza e coraggio. Nella speranza di ridare voce a un popolo che era stato messo a tacere.
