Magic

Her magic may be the only thing that can save a prince—and the Seven Kingdoms. In a distant corner of the Seven Kingdoms, an ancient curse festers and grows, consuming everything in its path. Only one man can break it: Harkeld of Osgaard, a prince with mage’s blood in his veins. But Prince Harkeld has a bounty on his head—and assassins at his heels. Innis is a gifted shapeshifter. Now she must do the forbidden: become a man. She must stand at Prince Harkeld’s side as his armsman, protecting and deceiving him. But the deserts of Masse are more dangerous than the assassins hunting the prince. The curse has woken deadly creatures, and the magic Prince Harkeld loathes may be the only thing standing between him and death.

The Seven Kingdoms are in the grip of an ancient and terrible blood curse. Thousands have died. Thousands more will die. Only one man can end the curse. The fugitive Osgaardan prince, Harkeld, is that man—whether he likes it or not. But the bounty on Harkeld’s head is high. He has outrun his father’s soldiers, but he can’t outrun the assassins who seek him—Fithians, trained in the art of killing. Even the Sentinel mages who guide and guard him are no match for Fithian steel. Faced with the ever-present threat of death, Harkeld must learn to use his fire magic. Or die. Meanwhile, dark plots are unfolding in Osgaard’s gold-tiled palace, snaring Princess Brigitta and those she loves. And in the eastern kingdoms, young orphan Jaumé journeys with a band of mysterious and dangerous fighters, heading north for a purpose he does not understand.

Eine Bibliothekslehrling, ein zauberkundiger Prinz und ein unzerbrechliches magisches Band ... Das Solaris-Imperium ist nur noch einen Eroberungszug davon entfernt, den Kontinent zu vereinen, und die seltene Elementarmagie, die in der siebzehnjährigen Bibliothekslehrling Vhalla Yarl schlummert, könnte das Blatt im Krieg wenden. Vhalla wurde stets gelehrt, den Turm der Zauberer, eine geheimnisvolle magische Gesellschaft, zu fürchten, und war glücklich in ihrer stillen Welt der Bücher. Doch nachdem sie unwissentlich das Leben eines der mächtigsten Zauberer überhaupt rettet – des Kronprinzen Aldrik –, wird sie in seine Welt hineingezogen. Nun muss sie über ihre Zukunft entscheiden: Soll sie ihre Zauberkunst annehmen und das Leben, das sie kennt, hinter sich lassen, oder ihre Magie auslöschen und so bleiben, wie sie immer war? Und da mächtige Kräfte im Schatten lauern, könnte Vhallas Unentschlossenheit sie mehr kosten, als sie sich je vorgestellt hat.

Hele sit liv er Call blevet advaret af sin far mod at nærme sig magi. At klare sig godt i Jernprøven og blive optaget på den højt ansete Magisterium-skole ville føre dårlige ting med sig. Men han mislykkes med at mislykkes. Kun hårdt arbejde, loyale venner, fare og en hvalp venter.

Callum Hunts sommerferie er ikke som andre børns. Hans nærmeste følgesvend er Havoc, en ulv besat af Kaos. Hans far har mistanke om, at han i hemmelighed er ond. Og naturligvis skal de fleste børn ikke tilbage til Magisteriums magiske verden til efteråret. Det er ikke let for Call ... og det bliver endnu sværere, efter han undersøger kælderen og opdager, at hans far måske forsøger at ødelægge både ham og Havoc. Call flygter til Magisterium, men der tilspidses tingene kun. Alkahest, en kobberhandske, der kan skille visse magikere fra deres magi, er blevet stjålet. Og i deres søgen efter at finde den skyldige påkalder Call og hans venner Aaron og Tamara sig nogle meget farlige fjenders opmærksomhed – og kommer tættere på en endnu farligere sandhed.

Magic can save you. Magic can kill you. Students at the Magisterium are supposed to be safe. Under the watchful eyes of the mages, they are taught to use magic to bring order to a chaotic world. But now the chaos is fighting back. Call, Tamara, and Aaron should be worrying about things like pop quizzes and magic contests. Instead, after the shocking death of one of their classmates, they must track down a sinister killer… and risk their own lives in the process. As Call, Tamara, and Aaron discover, magic can only be as good as the person who wields it. In evil hands, it has the capacity to do immeasurable harm, unless it is stopped in time. In this striking third book of Magisterium, bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare present us with a school where anything, good or evil, can happen, and the only way to unlock the truth is to risk everything to find it.

„Нашият Дракон не изяжда момичетата, които взема, без значение какви истории разказват извън нашата долина. Понякога ги чуваме от преминаващи пътници. Говорят така, сякаш извършваме човешки жертвоприношения, а той е истински дракон. Разбира се, това не е вярно: може да е магьосник и безсмъртен, но все пак е човек и бащите ни биха се обединили и биха го убили, ако поискаше да изяде някоя от нас на всеки десет години. Той ни защитава от Леса и сме му благодарни, но не чак толкова.“ Агнешка обича дома си в долината, тихото си селце, горите и блестящата река. Но поквареният Лес стои на границата, изпълнен със зловеща сила, и сянката му тегне над живота ѝ. Хората ѝ разчитат на хладния, целеустремен магьосник, известен само като Дракона, за да държи силите му настрана. Но той иска ужасна цена за помощта си: една млада жена, предадена да му служи десет години — съдба, почти толкова ужасна, колкото да попаднеш в Леса. Следващият избор наближава бързо и Агнешка се страхува. Тя знае — всички знаят — че Драконът ще вземе Кася: красивата, грациозна, смела Кася, всичко онова, което Агнешка не е, и най-скъпата ѝ приятелка на света. И няма начин да я спаси. Но Агнешка се страхува от неподходящите неща. Защото когато Драконът дойде, няма да избере Кася.
