Una historia de amor situada en un fascinante universo mágico. El misterioso Faun ha llegado a la ciudad donde vive la joven Jade con una misión: capturar a los Ecos, las criaturas que desde hace un tiempo ensombrecen la tranquilidad del Reino de la Señora. Proveniente del Norte, Faun ha sido reclutado por la tiránica gobernadora y, cumpliendo con sus designios, se hya instalado en el pequeño hotel que regentan Jade y su padre. El primer encuentro entre Jade y Faun es hostil, pero con el paso de los días Jade se siente cada vez más atraída por su huesped, con quien sólo comparte algunas horas al caer el sol, porque durante el día se comporta como si fueran dos extraños. Al cabo de algunas semanas, Jade cae, por accidente, en el río y se da cuenta de que su imagen reflejada en el agua cobra vida. Entonces tiene una revelación: ¿y si ella fuera portadora de sangre de Eco? Esto la convertiría en acérrima enemiga del chico del que está enamorada...

Nina Blazon was born in Slovenia (the former Yugoslavia) in 1969. As a child growing up in the Bavarian town of Neu-Ulm, Nina enjoyed exploring the "forbidden" woods in search of dinosaurs, werewolves, and "monster deer" with the other children in town. Given her taste for adventure and strange creatures, it is no surprise that Nina's favorite childhood books include the works of Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking) and The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. These books served as an inspiration to Nina as she began writing poetry and stage plays at the age of 13. Despite a lack of encouragement from her parents, Nina pursued a work placement in journalism and began to further develop her craft. She credits the books of Theodore Sturgen as a major influence on her writing, and lives by her own advice of "Never forget your notebook!" as she often finds herself inspired by ordinary people doing everyday things. In her novel The Pact of the Wolves (Spring 2008), Nina explores her fascination with secret societies, which she supplements with historic facts from a 17th-century German witch trial—two dark, mysterious topics that create an eerie backdrop for her cast of spellbinding characters. Today Nina Blazon lives with her husband in Stuttgart, Germany—80 kilometers (50 miles) from the Black Forest. She enjoys traveling through Scandinavia, history, cinema, riding, and—undoubtedly—exploring the woods in search of dark creatures and bone-chilling adventures!
