Balancing a fake identity, a deadly tournament, and a secret rebellion? No sweat. Juggling my new relationship with Salem while my feelings for the rest of my demon hybrids spiral out of control? That's where the real danger is. After our trip to the surface, we have to pretend we don't know the...

The night I got pregnant, the rest of my life went to sh*t. First, I woke up alone, the jerk not even willing to stick around. Then, I got thrown in jail for a crime I didn't commit. Now, I've been "volunteered" as a tribute for the dragons. It was either that or spend my life in prison. Of course, I didn't actually get to choose. The Feds shipped me off against my protests. Which is where I come face to face with the man who knocked me up. The man who is actually a dragon.

"Skyggernes Herre" er andet bind i Cassandra Clares fantasytrilogi "Mørkets Magi", der fortsætter historien om den unge Skyggejæger Emma Carstairs, der i "Den Himmelske Ilds By" mistede sine forældre. En Skyggejægers liv er bundet af pligt og begrænset af ære. En Skyggejægers ord er et løfte, og intet løfte er mere helligt end det, der binder parabatai sammen - som kampfæller til døden, men aldrig, aldrig som elskere. Emma ved, at hendes kærlighed til Julian Blackthorn - hendes parabatai - ikke kun er forbudt; den kan ødelægge dem begge.

Doch anstatt ihr nacheilen zu können, muss James sich auf die Suche nach seiner gleichfalls verschwundenen Schwester Lucie begeben.

I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the enemy who killed my family. We were at war. The dragons claimed we kidnapped their heir, and they wanted him back. They were winning. Our tanks and guns didn't stand a chance. Now they're willing to agree to a truce, but only if we provide them with mates. My company says I've been given the 'honor' of being a dragon's conquest, but in reality, the b-----ds want to silence me for what I know.

As heir to one of the powerful dragon houses, my father expects my mate to be a "proper match" for my position. He's spent years parading those he approves past me. I hated them all. No woman was right for me—until our ruler tricked me into taking a human for a mate. My dragon has never been so alive. So obsessed. From the moment I laid my eyes on Chloe, I knew that I had to have her. To make her mine. Unfortunately, the most recent of my rejected "proper" mates is also the youngest daughter of a rival house.

I'm done being someone's second best. And I have the scars from my first marriage to prove it. Now that I'm stuck with a dragon shifter, it's going to take more than muscles as hard as a good D to convince me that they're serious. Of course, if it wasn't for my big mouth I wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. I was there when the ceasefire terms were presented by the dragons. They demanded eight women a year as tribute. My ex-husband, 'The General,' argued that we should never surrender. I said he was an idiot, and that we were losing.

Don’t awaken the stone of daybreak. Fort Deshmel stands as a bastion against the monsters. As the new Holy Woman, I’m purifying them in droves while living alongside various Mythical Beasts who are there to guard me against humans and monsters alike. It’s been a joy tending to the fields outside the fortress and creating new alchemy concoctions during my time here. But as the truth of the Stone of Daybreak—and of my lineage—comes to light, not to mention the new romantic developments in Dad and Nakona’s lives, it seems our peaceful days are numbered...
