C'era una volta la figlia di un mugnaio... Colpita dalla maledizione di Wyrdith, dio delle storie e della menzogna, Serilda ha sviluppato un incredibile talento per il racconto: quelle con cui incanta i bambini del villaggio sono vicende intriganti, bizzarre, e soprattutto non contengono un briciolo di verità. O almeno così credono tutti. Ma una delle sue storie attira l'attenzione del mostruoso Erlking con i suoi cacciatori non-morti. E così Serilda si ritrova prigioniera in un luogo sinistro, dove si aggirano ghoul, fantasmi e ripugnanti corvi senza occhi.

Anno 126, Terza Era. Androidi e umani popolano le strade di Nuova Pechino, sotto lo sguardo implacabile degli abitanti della Luna. Cinder, giovane cyborg e legittima erede al trono lunare, evade dalla prigione in cui è stata rinchiusa per partire alla volta di Parigi, alla ricerca della donna che in passato l'ha nascosta dalla malvagia Regina Levana. Il suo destino si intreccia a quello di Scarlet, giovane contadina francese costretta ad abbandonare la sua fattoria per ritrovare la nonna, scomparsa senza lasciare traccia.

Cinder è abituata alle occhiate sprezzanti che la sua matrigna e la gente riservano ai cyborg come lei, e non importa quanto sia brava come meccanico al mercato settimanale di Nuova Pechino o quanto cerchi di adeguarsi alle regole. Proprio per questo lo sguardo attento del Principe Kai, il primo sguardo gentile e senza accuse, la getta nello sconcerto. Può un cyborg innamorarsi di un principe? E se Kai sapesse cosa Cinder è veramente, le dedicherebbe ancora tante attenzioni?

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.... Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle.

L'Era dell'Anarchia avrebbe potuto proseguire all'infinito. Poi, quasi all'improvviso... la speranza. La speranza che risplendeva luminosa, vestita con mantelli e maschere. La speranza, bellissima e piena di gioia, che prometteva di risolvere tutti i problemi, di trafiggere i nemici con la spada della giustizia. La speranza che prendeva il nome di Rinnegati. Sono passati ormai dieci anni da quando i Rinnegati, un gruppo di giovanissimi Prodigi, uomini e donne dotati di poteri straordinari, decisero di usare le loro capacità per contrastare il caos generato dal governo degli Anarchici su Gatlon City, e riportare ovunque pace e stabilità.

Cinder lebt bei ihrer Stiefmutter und ihren zwei Stiefschwestern, arbeitet als Mechanikerin und versucht gegen alle Widerstände, sich nicht unterkriegen zu lassen. Als eines Tages in unauffälliger Kleidung niemand anderes als Prinz Kai an ihrem Marktstand auftaucht, wirft das unzählige Fragen auf: Warum braucht der Prinz ihre Hilfe? Und was hat es mit dem plötzlichen Besuch der Königin von Luna auf sich, die Prinz Kai unbedingt heiraten will?

Zwei ganze Wochen ist Scarlets Großmutter nun schon verschwunden. Entführt? Tot? Die Leute im Dorf sagen, sie sei sicher abgehauen. Sie sei ja sowieso verrückt. Aber für Scarlet ist Grandmère alles - von ihr hat sie gelernt, wie man ein Raumschiff fliegt, Bio-Tomaten anbaut und seinen Willen durchsetzt. Dann trifft Scarlet einen mysteriösen Straßenkämpfer - Wolf. Er fasziniert sie; doch kann sie ihm trauen? Immerhin: Die reißerischen Berichte über Cinder und das Attentat auf Prinz Kai hält Wolf ebenso wie sie für Quatsch. Aber irgendein Geheimnis verbirgt der Fremde...

In this third audiobook in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they're plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and prevent her army from invading Earth. Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl trapped on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she's being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she's just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies—humans with extraordinary abilities—who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone...except the villains they once overthrew. Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice—and in Nova. But Nova's allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both.

Seit ihrer Kindheit hat Cress die Erde nur aus der Ferne betrachten können. Unter strenger Aufsicht der bösen Königin Levana führt sie in ihrem Satelliten ein wenig abwechslungsreiches Leben. Doch immerhin hat sie sich mit den Jahren zu einer begnadeten Hackerin entwickelt und verschafft sich so Zugang zu Levanas geheimen Plänen. Da taucht plötzlich das Raumschiff von Cinder bei ihr auf, die ihr zur Flucht verhilft.

Das kann Königin Levana, Herrscherin des Mondes, nicht dulden: Ihre Stieftochter, Prinzessin Winter, wird täglich schöner und ihr Zauber immer mächtiger! Wütend zwingt die böse Königin sie dazu, sich das Gesicht mit Schnitten zu verunstalten - doch die Narben können Winters Schönheit nichts anhaben. Schließlich versucht Levana sogar, sie umbringen zu lassen. Da fasst Winter einen verzweifelten Plan: Sie muss die rechtmäßige Thronfolgerin Selene finden, um gemeinsam mit ihr die böse Königin zu stürzen.
