Es wird Hebst in Henrietta. Blue und die vier Raven Boys suchen noch immer nach dem Grab des walisischen Königs Glendower. Fast glauben sie sich am Ziel, als Adam eine beunruhigende Vision hat: Im magischen Wald Cabeswater gibt es drei Schlafende. Einer von ihnen darf unter gar keinen Umständen geweckt werden. Die Frage ist allerdings, welcher es ist und was geschieht, wenn er trotz aller Vorsicht aufwachen sollte. Währenddessen hat Blue ganz andere Sorgen: Ihre Mutter ist verschwunden und außer einer mysteriösen Nachricht gibt es keine Spur von ihr.

Mit jedem Tag, den Blue mit Gansey verbringt, fällt es ihr schwerer, sich nicht in ihn zu verlieben – obwohl sie weiß, dass ein Kuss von ihr der Grund für seinen nahen Tod sein könnte. Sie ist fasziniert von seiner leidenschaftlichen Suche nach dem verschwundenen König Glendower, und in der knisternden Hitze des Sommers kommen Blue, Gansey und die Raven Boys diesem Ziel immer näher. Vor allem Ronans Fähigkeit, Gegenstände aus seinen Träumen in die reale Welt zu bringen, lässt die Lösung greifbar werden.

The jaw-dropping conclusion to Girls of Storm and Shadow left the fates of Lei and Wren hanging in the balance. There's one thing Lei knows - she can never return to the Hidden Palace. The trauma and tragedy she suffered behind those opulent walls will plague her forever. She cannot be trapped there with the sadistic king again, especially without Wren.

Lei, the naive country girl who became a royal courtesan, is now known as the Moonchosen, the commoner who managed to do what no one else could. But slaying the cruel Demon King wasn't the end of the plan - it's just the beginning. Now Lei and her warrior love, Wren, must travel the kingdom to gain support from the far-flung rebel clans. The journey is made even more treacherous, thanks to a heavy bounty on Lei's head, as well as insidious doubts that threaten to tear Lei and Wren apart from within.
