A cursed girl escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor. It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.

Morrigan Crow and her friends have survived their first year as proud scholars of the elite Wundrous Society, helped bring down the nefarious Ghastly Market, and proven themselves loyal to Unit 919. Now Morrigan faces a new, exciting challenge: to master the mysterious Wretched Arts, and control the power that threatens to consume her. But a strange and frightening illness has taken hold of Nevermoor, turning infected Wunimals into mindless, vicious Unnimals on the hunt. As victims of the Hollowpox multiply, panic spreads. And with the city she loves in a state of fear, Morrigan quickly realizes it's up to her to find a cure for the Hollowpox, even if it will put her - and everyone in Nevermoor - in more danger than she ever imagined.

Wunder is gathering in Nevermoor ... Morrigan Crow may have defeated her deadly curse, passed the dangerous trials and joined the mystical Wundrous Society, but her journey into Nevermoor and all its secrets has only just begun. And she is fast learning that not all magic is used for good. Morrigan Crow has been invited to join the prestigious Wundrous Society, a place that promised her friendship, protection and belonging for life. She's hoping for an education full of wunder, imagination and discovery - but all the Society want to teach her is how evil Wundersmiths are. And someone is blackmailing Morrigan's unit, turning her last few loyal friends against her. Has Morrigan escaped from being the cursed child of Wintersea only to become the most hated figure in Nevermoor? Worst of all, people have started to go missing. The fantastical city of Nevermoor, once a place of magic and safety, is now riddled with fear and suspicion...

Morrigan og bestevennen Hagbart er nå stolte medlemmer av Det vunderlige selskap, men livet er langt fra enkelt. Har Morrigan det som kreves for å bevise at hun hører hjemme i den eksklusive kretsen?

Morrigan Kråkh lever med en forbannelse hvilende over seg: Ved midnatt på elleveårsdagen sin vil hun dø. Rett før klokken slår siste slag, reddes hun av Jupiter Nord. Med glefsende røyk-og-skygge-jegere i hælene legger de på flukt og lander trygt i den skjulte byen Ingenlund. Jupiter har valgt Morrigan som sin aspirant og deltaker i konkurransen om en plass i Det Vunderlige Selskap. Men i motsetning til de andre kandidatene har Morrigan ingen spesielle evner eller ferdigheter å skryte av.

Fantasi, nye oppdagelser og vennskap venter Morrigan Kråkh når hun flykter fra den dødelige forbannelsen og blir med i det Vunderlige selskap. De lover henne beskyttelse og tilhørighet resten av livet, men Morrigan får ikke den velkomsten hun hadde håpet på. For å gjøre ting verre har Ingenlund gått fra å være en trygg havn til å bli et farlig sted. Medlemmer av det Vunderlige selskap forsvinner, og det er noen som truer Morrigans nye venner og setter de opp mot henne. Og Esra Skrall, den ondeste mannen som noen gang har levd, vil gjøre alt for å lure Morrigan vekk fra det Vunderlige selskap. Morrigan har kanskje overvunnet den dødelige forbannelsen, bestått de farefulle prøvene og blitt med i det Vunderlige sel¬skap, men reisen hennes har bare så vidt begynt. Dette er bok nummer to i serien Ingenlund.
