Ever since magic stormed the world, the price for human survival is surrendering your firstborn to the monsters. But this year it's Nova's turn, and the monsters better watch their backs.

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. When a criminal has magic too dangerous to merely lock up, we send them to a blackout prison. Hell would've been a better destination for this guy. As a lowly cop in the LVMPD's Rapid Response unit, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of dumpster-fire scenarios, from drunk salamanders on a building-melting bender and angry manticore landlords threatening to eat tenants' gallbladders in lieu of payment to human summoners calling up monsters from the deep to impress their girlfriends to name a few.

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. I love my job protecting the streets of post-magic-revolution Las Vegas - where humans and supernaturals live side by side, or are at least having a stab at it. So when I get suspended and some jackass takes my city hostage? Yeah, there's going to be hell to pay.

When a criminal has magic too dangerous to merely lock up, we send them to a blackout prison. Hell would've been a better destination for this guy. As a lowly cop in the LVMPD's Rapid Response unit, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of dumpster-fire scenarios. But learning about the magic I shouldn't have while facing off against a psychopath who's worked me into his infernal plans for worldwide torment? That's decidedly outside my wheelhouse. I have to stop this devil from bringing hell to earth. But I'm petrified I'm going to help him pull it off instead.

My life, as I know it, is over. My beloved career, my purpose, my very identity has been ripped from me. Because I now possess the devil’s magic. And no one around me is safe. Oh, and my dragon ex-partner-in-action wants my help saving the world. Again. But this time the enemy is no mere magically gifted human. I’m facing a vampire who’s been around for a millennium–maybe two–and who has more money, experience, and influence than I can possibly imagine. A vampire who’s somehow murdering the last remaining immortals. And if that’s not enough, he’s backed by a goddess.

„Morgen werden wir sterben, welche Rolle spielt das alles also noch?“ Nova hat sich geschworen, jedes Quäntchen ihrer Kraft zu nutzen, um den weltvernichtenden Feind zu besiegen, der seit hundertfünfzig Jahren die Erde bedroht. Sie hat nur keine Ahnung wie. Dennoch reist Nova zusammen mit ihren Freunden an die Kriegsfront um das Unmögliche zu vollbringen.

Firstborn Academy - Der 2. Band der US Bestseller Serie Nach ihrer Verwandlung erwacht Nova mit ungeahnten Kräften. Die Kräfte des Feindes. Niemand weiß, ob Novas neue Fähigkeiten ein Fluch sind, oder das nötige Mittel, um die Welt zu retten. Und nicht jeder an der Akademie will Nova lange genug leben lassen, um das herauszufinden.

"Ihr müsst mir eure Namen nicht nennen. Denn ich bezweifle, dass ihr die erste Woche überleben werdet." Seit Magie die Welt übernommen hat, schicken die Menschen ihre Erstgeborenen durch das Runentor an die Firstborn Academy. Dort müssen sie sich einer Reihe von magischen und in der Regel tödlichen Prüfungen unterziehen. Niemand weiß welchem Zweck diese Prüfungen dienen. Die Menschen wissen nur, dass keines ihrer Kinder jemals zurückkehrt. Jedenfalls bis jetzt.
