Laini Taylor: Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war. This was not that world.

'This is what books should be' 'Truly a thing of literary beauty' 'I was literally shouting "WHAT!? I want more!!!"'
'Practically perfect '

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grows dangerously low.

And an art student named Karou wanders the tangled lanes of Prague, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.

When one of the strangers - beautiful, haunted Akiva - fixes his fire-coloured eyes on Karou, she is swept away into a deadly war. Soon she must choose between the safety of her ordinary life and a dangerous world that holds the answers she has always sought . . .

Star-crossed lovers, dangerous secrets, and deadly worlds collide in this sweeping fantasy romance trilogy by a New York Times bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber, Brigid Kemmerer, and Naomi Novik.
