Descrição da editora
From the bestselling author of Threads That Bind comes a timeline-crossing romantic fantasy about a girl in love with a world of darkness—and with the mysterious heir to its throne—who must fight to prevent the destruction of all she loves.
“A lush, breathtaking, and wholly unique fantasy. I was entranced.” —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning
Sascia has always loved the Dark. Six years ago, when the world she knew collided with the world of the Dark, she found it thrilling rather than terrifying. Now, she spends her days studying Darkcreatures or seeking them out in the shadows where they thrive.
Then, one day, she—impossibly—pulls a person from the Dark. A person who shouldn’t exist. And they’re here to kill her. Nugau, the heir to the Darkworld, claims to be delivering a sentence for Sascia’s betrayal in a battle she’s never heard of, in a war that hasn’t happened.
Sascia escapes with her life—barely. But tensions are brewing between her world and the Dark, and it’s not long before she discovers that she and Nugau are bound together by forces they don’t understand. As they grow closer, crossing worlds and timelines, they must find a way to fight for peace—and for each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Sascia was 12, a rift between Earth and a realm called the Darkworld appeared, spilling monsters and mayhem into Shanghai, and later, her hometown, New York City. Now 18, Sascia is enchanted by the Dark and its creatures, which leads her to study Darkmoths at the prestigious Umbra Program for Young Researchers. Despite her fascination with the subject, she's disillusioned by the red tape and hurdles she must navigate in her studies. Needing funds to retain her spot at Umbra, she moonlights as a guide for thrill-seeking tourists scavenging artifacts from the Dark. But when one of these illegal excursions leads her to gender-fluid Nugau—a volatile elf princet from the Dark, who greets her with lethal intent—time and the universe as Sascia knows them begin to unravel. Nugau claims they've met her before—or will. As Sascia contends with the Dark's constantly shifting reality, she and Nugau realize their fates, and that of their worlds, are inextricably entwined. Hatzopoulou (Hearts That Cut) juxtaposes the Darkworld's court politics against human society's corporate corruption, resulting in a dimension-crossing, time-twisting romantasy. Intriguing descriptions of the Dark's enigmatic creatures inject atmospheric otherworldliness. Sascia has Greek ancestry. Ages 14–up.
