After years of peace, the recent daring adventure of twins Thisbe and Fifer Stowe have brought about dire consequences. Thisbe has been captured, Fifer is injured, and Sky is lost at sea. The twins’ older brother, Alex, head mage of Artimé, is paralyzed with fear of losing anyone else he loves.

Das magische Land Artimé ist verschwunden, und die Überlebenden stehen vor einem ungewissen Schicksal. Der junge Alex Stowe muss die Führung übernehmen und einen Weg finden, die verlorene Magie zurückzubringen und seine Freunde zu retten. Währenddessen schmiedet sein Zwillingsbruder Aaron in Quill weiter seine dunklen Pläne und verfolgt unerbittlich seinen eigenen Aufstieg zur Macht. Doch es gibt Hoffnung. Ein Rätsel, das der Magier Mr. Today hinterlassen hat, könnte der Schlüssel sein, um Artimé wiederherzustellen.

Der Konflikt zwischen den Zwillingsbrüdern Aaron und Alex spitzt sich dramatisch zu. Während Aaron in Quill als Hohepriester seine Macht ausbaut, kämpft Alex in Artimé um das Überleben seiner Freunde. Eine feindliche Flotte nähert sich den Ufern, angeführt von einer erbarmungslosen Herrscherin. Alex muss schnell handeln, um Artimé zu verteidigen. Und Aaron erkennt, dass Macht auch Verantwortung bedeutet.

Following her dramatic abduction of Fifer and Thisbe, the dragon woman traps the twins in an isolated, crumbling palace and surrounds them with four killer dragons in an attempt to coerce them to join her side. Hope finally arrives when Dev sneaks into the castle and the threesome reunites, hatching a plan against the Revinir so devious, so horrifying, that it just might work. But when it comes time to act, Thisbe struggles to confront her deepest fears about her inner levels of good and evil and, to her own dismay, questions if she's really been on the right side all along.

Artimé is at war. Led by the reckless new head mage, Frieda Stubbs, and swayed by her stoking their fear of the Revinir’s return, the people of Artimé have turned against the Stowe family. Aaron and his allies are captured while Fifer is left exposed to mortal danger. Thisbe and the team of black-eyed children from Grimere journey to Artimé to help, leaving Dev behind to fend for himself against the increasingly powerful Revinir. Thisbe grapples with guilt and worry from multiple directions as her relationship with Fifer continues its downward spiral.

Devastated by loss and hampered by war, Fifer struggles to regroup and continue the search for her twin. Meanwhile, Thisbe, pounded by images of Grimere’s dark history, contemplates her abandonment and considers leaving Rohan behind in a risky move that could take her home...or to her death.

The Forgotten Five and their friends have been under increased scrutiny in Estero ever since Martim Palacio published his article revealing their identities and alleging they are armed and dangerous. Corrupt President Fuerte has been stoking anger against all supernaturals, in hopes of gaining public support for his reelection, and photos and videos have leaked of the kids from their most recent raid.

What Sawyer's seeing might mean murder. The second book in a series from the New York Times best-selling author of the Wake trilogy.

Jules should be happy. She saved a lot of people’s lives and she's finally with Sawyer, pretty much the guy of her dreams. But the nightmare's not over, because she somehow managed to pass the psycho vision stuff to Sawyer.

Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that. What she can’t handle is the recurring vision that haunts her. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode...and nine body bags in the snow. The vision is everywhere - on billboards, television screens, windows - and she’s the only one who sees it. And the more she sees it, the more she sees.
