A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten.

Keira’s hallucinating. First it’s a door hovering above the road; then it’s a tree in her living room. But with her parents fighting and her best friend not speaking to her, Keira can’t tell anyone about her breakdown. Until she meets Walker. They have an electric connection, and somehow he can see the same shadowy images plaguing Keira. But trusting Walker may be more dangerous than Keira could have ever imagined. The more she confides in him, the more intense - and frightening - her visions become. Because Walker is not what he appears to be. And neither are her visions.

Starautor Brandon Sanderson schreibt "im Magic™: The Gathering"-Universum. Von klein auf hat Tacenda die Gabe, ihre Familie vor den Monstern aus den Wäldern zu schützen. Doch diese Macht ist zugleich ihr Fluch, denn Tacenda ist dazu verdammt, ein Leben in ewiger Finsternis zu führen: Sobald die Sonne aufgeht, verliert sie ihr Augenlicht, bis es wieder dunkel wird. Eines Nachts versagt der Schutzzauber, und Tacendas Familie wird von den Ungeheuern getötet. Tacenda glaubt, dass der neue Lord dafür verantwortlich ist. Angeblich steht er mit Dämonen im Bunde.
