She was broken by the men who took her, so now I'm going to make them bleed. I might be her savior, but I'm no valiant knight. There's only one thing I want in return for helping the girl I found in the wilderness. And that's her. Winter may not remember who she is, but she'll soon realize that the only thing she needs to be is mine.

I will break out of Darkmore Penitentiary. But I was a fool to think that it would be so simple. And now with more and more Fae relying on me to get them out of this slice of hell, I find myself unable to do a damn thing. Mason Cain stabbed me in the back and left me to rot in the dark. So now I have another goal in mind before I escape this place, because no one messes with the Queen of the Oscura Clan and lives to tell the tale. The moment I get out of here, my sights will be set on him.

Cruel. Heartless. Quarantined. The ruthless boys of Everlake Prep never saw lockdown coming. But the virus isn’t their number one enemy. I am. And as if being confined to a boarding school for the elite wasn’t bad enough, now I’m stuck in isolation with the boys who hate me most too. With the virus escalating and my dad’s name splashed through the news, my entire world is falling apart. What he did has cast a dark shadow over me. And the Night Keepers want to make me pay for his crimes.

I made my choice. I took the hard way out. Now all of our fates are riding on the dice I’m about to throw and luck never was on our side. I was whole once, with my boys in this slice of paradise we’d carved out for ourselves, but in the time that we were parted we grew up. Grew apart. And as much as I might have yearned to reclaim that girl with the sand between her toes and the sun on her cheeks, it’s time I admit that I spent too long in the shadows to ever truly be her again.

I’m the prince of death. A son of carnage born of wicked deeds and sin-filled nightmares. Nobody understood me. Until her. My Spider. The wild girl I claimed from a sea of violent men. But others want her too. The enemies who lurk within my walls seek to steal her from my grasp. They’re my captives, but maybe they’re the answer to my greatest fear too. Because the Grim Reaper shadows every move I make, and he’s always watching her.

I was sold to my enemies. The Butchers of the London mob, who run an empire built on sin and greed. The stories I’ve heard about the way they rule their underworld are enough to make my heart race. But those rumors have nothing on the truth. Danny, Church, Frank. The three men who own me now. They made a peace deal with my family, which came at a cost—me. A mafia princess gifted to them as a bride. So here I am in my white dress with a gun to my head and a knife in my garter. The war between our families might have ended with this union, but I’m starting a battle of my own.

The sky is burning. The Reapers are keeping secrets. Vampires roam the wastes. And I’m headed down a path of destruction which can only end in death. I’m a soul cast adrift on a tide of grief and lies. A clock ticking down the moments to my inevitable destruction, and all I can do is race towards it. The nations are caught in this endless battle for supremacy and it’s hard to see myself as anything other than a pawn in the twisted games I’m helpless to control. The Waning Lands are screaming, soaked in blood for so long that even the rivers run red with it.

Freedom never tasted so bitter. This is the final instalment in the Darkmore Penitentiary series.

Die Antwort auf eure Frage wird sich bei der Mondfinsternis zeigen. Aber lasst euch nicht von den Schatten vereinnahmen, wenn ihr die Wahrheitherausfindet. Die Höllische Woche hat begonnen. Die Seniors haben die Aufgabe, das Leben der Freshmen zu einer echten Qual zu machen,während wir uns auf die Abrechnung vorbereiten – die Prüfung, die darüber entscheidet, ob wiran der Zodiac Academy bleiben können oder unseren Platz hier für immer verlieren. Doch angesichts der nahenden Mondfinsternis haben meine Schwester und ich mehr zubefürchten als nur das Bestehen unserer Prüfungen.

The shadows are in my blood. I can feel them crawling through me, slithering under my skin and taking me hostage. But the darkness within me isn't nearly as bad as the darkness that lives around me. The four Celestial Heirs will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of me and my sister. But they haven't figured out yet, that we're the strongest creatures they've ever known. And when that secret comes out, we need to be ready to face them as well as any other cruel Fae who rises against us. It’s us or them. And it damn well won’t be us.

The Harlequin boys are more than just a memory now. More than a daydream of our youth and an idea to cling onto. They’re my greatest weakness and my biggest regret, but I’ve started to realize that coming back to Sunset Cove was always my fate. My heart beats to the turn of the tide here. My skin only warms beneath this sun. And my soul will only ever be home on these streets and with the men who grew out of my memories. But nothing is the same as I remember, and the time for childish games is coming to an end.

I’m the girl who no one wanted. Or the one who got away. Depending on who you ask. Either way, betrayal and heartache have been my friends for far too long and it’s time for me to start over. I gave the Harlequin boys a chance to change. A chance to prove that history wasn’t just set to repeat itself. But they failed with spectacular colors.

Once upon a moon, the wild wind whispered in my ear that the true queens were returning to Solaria, and I made it my mission to open up their path to the throne so that they could slip right in like an oily oyster. Now, on this most special and wonderous of days, the very day of their birth–I will prove myself to be the most loyal and dependable of their followers. Though of course, Venus is in my chart, and Lady Petunia has caught sight of the bothersome barracuda once more.

The walls of my world are crumbling, and it may be too late to save us. The clock is ticking, and a cruel fate has been laid at my feet. And now, I am standing at a crossroads, with the blade of destiny in my grip.

Sie haben versucht, uns zu vernichten. Fast wären sie damit erfolgreich gewesen. Aber wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen. Die Celestia-Erben wähnen die Sterne auf ihrer Seite. Aber sie wissen nicht, was sie erwartet. Wir müssen klug vorgehen. Sie einzeln zu bekämpfen, ist keine Option, also müssen wir kreativ werden. Es wird nicht einfach sein, unter dem Radar zu bleiben. Aber wenn uns das gelingt, werden sienichts von unserer Beteiligung ahnen, wenn ihr Leben aus den Fugen gerät. Außerdem haben sie uns bereits an die Schwelle zur Hölle gebracht – wie viel weiter können sienoch gehen?

Ich bin ein Zwilling – sowohl in Bezug auf mein Sternzeichen als auch auf meine Geburt. Außerdem bin ich impulsiv. Neugierig. Eigensinnig. Erbin eines Throns, von dessen Existenz ich keine Ahnung hatte. Und wie sich nun herausstellt, bin ich auch Fae.
