Inhaltsangabe

A darkly enchanting series from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray about a teenage witch who battles dark forces in her small town, perfect for fans of the Beautiful Creatures and Hex Hall series.

A boy cursed with visions that lead to madness. A girl granted the powers to save him.

As soon as Nadia arrives in Captive's Sound, she knows something is seriously wrong. The town is shrouded in dark magic, more powerful and complex than she has ever seen. Mateo has lived in Captive's Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that his family is "cursed" with insanity. When the mysterious girl he has been dreaming of every night appears (Nadia), he fears the curse may be true. But danger is coming, and Nadia and Mateo must work together to stop this unknown force before it destroys everything in its path.

What happens when the boy you were destined to meet is also the one cursed to go mad?

• Fated Love: He’s seen her in his dreams every night. She’s the only one who can save him. But their connection might be the very thing that unleashes his family’s curse.
• A Cursed Hero: Mateo’s visions of the future drive the men in his family to insanity. Now that he’s dreaming of Nadia, he fears he’s next.
• Small Town Secrets: Captive’s Sound isn’t just sleepy—it’s sick. An ancient dark magic is poisoning the town from the inside out, and only Nadia can feel it.
• An Ancient Sorceress: The dark magic has a master. A powerful Sorceress has a centuries-old plan for Captive’s Sound, and she won’t let a teenage witch and a cursed boy get in her way.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A boy cursed with visions that lead to madness. A girl granted the powers to save him.

When Nadia's family arrives at their new home in Captive's Sound, she realizes instantly that there's more to this town than meets the eye. As a witch, Nadia senses that dark magic is at work—magic wielded by a force more evil and more powerful than any she has encountered before.

Mateo has lived in Captive's Sound his whole life, haunted by his family's tormented past. When the strange dreams he's been having of rescuing a beautiful girl from a car accident actually come to pass, he knows the whispers about the "family curse" are true—and that he's doomed.

Despite the laws of witchcraft that would keep them apart, Nadia and Mateo are drawn together to break the chains of the evil threatening the entire town . . . and their lives.
