Pelos quatro cantos da Terra, mãos negras aparecem marcadas nas portas das casas, gravadas a fogo por seres alados que surgem de uma fenda no céu. Em uma loja sombria e empoeirada, o estoque de dentes humanos de um demônio está perigosamente baixo. E nas tumultuadas ruas de Praga, uma jovem estudante de arte está prestes a se envolver em uma guerra sem precedentes.

Os dois mundos – Eretz e a Terra – se veem ameaçados pelo cruel imperador dos serafins, mas novas forças surgem de onde menos se espera. Quimeras e serafins estão unidos para deter o inimigo maior. E sob a liderança de Karou e Akiva, o exército de Ilegítimos luta lado a lado com as feras para deter Jael e construir um mundo de paz. É uma versão distorcida do tão antigo sonho dos dois, uma esperança de futuro para seus povos. E, talvez, para o amor que eles sentem renascer.

Karou é uma estudante de artes plásticas que está longe de ser uma adolescente típica – não só pelo cabelo azul ultramarino, que nasce exatamente dessa cor, ou pela constelação de tatuagens que carrega no corpo, incluindo hamsás nas palmas das mãos. Criada no covil de um demônio e cercada de mistérios, ela por fim encontrou as respostas que sempre buscou. Karou vai descobrir quem é – e o que é: sua aparência humana é fruto do trabalho de Brimstone, seu mestre na vida anterior.

Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her friend, Karou, calls her "rabid fairy", her "voodoo eyes" are said to freeze blood, and even her brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or "Violin Boy", her courage deserts her. But Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It's a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter's night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself!

Hubo un tiempo en que un ángel y un demonio imaginaron un mundo diferente. Pero no era el mundo en el que vivían... La estudiante de Arte y aprendiz de monstruos, Karou, tiene por fin las respuestas a las preguntas que se lleva haciendo desde niña: por fin sabe quién es y, sobre todo, qué es. Pero junto a esta verdad, ha conocido otra mucho más dolorosa: el ser al que ama es su peor enemigo, responsable de la traición más terrible y del dolor de todo un mundo.

Karou es una estudiante de arte de 17 años que vive en Praga. Pero ese no es su único mundo. A veces, Karou desaparece en misteriosos viajes para realizar los encargos de Brimstone, el monstruo quimera que la adoptó al nacer. Tan misteriosa resulta Karou para sus amigos, como lo es para ella su propia vida: ¿cómo es que ha acabado formando parte de una familia de monstruos quimera? ¿Para qué necesita su padre adoptivo tantos dientes, especialmente de humanos? Y, ¿por qué tiene esa recurrente sensación de vacío, de haber olvidado algo?

Gerade noch war Lazlo der unscheinbare Bibliothekar aus Zosma, der von der vergessenen Stadt Weep träumte. Jetzt hängen die Hoffnungen all ihrer Bewohner an ihm, und Lazlo steht vor einer unmöglichen Entscheidung: Entweder er rettet die Liebe seines Lebens - oder Weep. Sein Gegner ist unberechenbar, und ohne die Hilfe von Sarai kann er ihn nicht bezwingen. Doch ist ihre Liebe stark genug, um alle Hindernisse zu überwinden und Weep endlich zu befreien?

Sarai ist die Muse der Albträume. Seit sie denken kann, quält sie die Bewohner von Weep mit ihren schlimmsten Ängsten. Sie ist sich sicher, dass sie jede noch so furchtbare Grausamkeit gesehen hat. Doch damit liegt sie falsch. Unendlich falsch. Denn plötzlich findet sich Sarai selbst in einem Albtraum wieder, aus dem sie nicht aufwachen kann. Ihre Liebe, ihr Leben und das aller Bewohner von Weep stehen auf dem Spiel.

Folge weiter der Geschichte von Lazlo und Sarai in der Verborgenen Stadt Weep Sagenumwoben, voller Schönheit, Wunder und Mysterien - so hat Lazlo sich die Verborgene Stadt, über die er so viel gelesen hat, immer vorgestellt. Doch Weep hütet ein düsteres Geheimnis, dem Lazlo und seine Gefährten auf den Grund gehen sollen. Welche Rolle spielt dabei Sarai, das blauhäutige Mädchen, welches ihm immer wieder in seinen Träumen begegnet? Nacht für Nacht treffen sich die beiden, und Lazlo spürt, wie das Band zwischen ihnen immer stärker wird.

Lazlo Strange liebt es, Geheimnisse zu ergründen und Abenteuer zu erleben. Allerdings nur zwischen den Seiten seiner Bücher, denn ansonsten erlebt der junge Bibliothekar nur wenig Aufregendes. Er ist ein Träumer und schwelgt am liebsten in den Geschichten um die sagenumwobene Stadt Weep - ein mysteriöser Ort, um den sich zahlreiche Geheimnisse ranken. Eines Tages werden Freiwillige für eine Reise nach Weep gesucht, und für Lazlo steht sofort fest, dass er sich der Gruppe anschließen muss. Ohne zu wissen, was sie in der verborgenen Stadt erwartet, machen sie sich auf den Weg.

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.

Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her "rabid fairy," her "voodoo eyes" are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or "Violin Boy," her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It's a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter's night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself!

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 grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color.

A girl who’s always been in the shadows finds herself pursued by the unbelievably attractive new boy at school, who may or may not be the death of her. Another girl grows up mute because of a curse placed on her by a vindictive spirit, and later must decide whether to utter her first words to the boy she loves and risk killing everyone who hears her if the curse is real.

Sus pesadillas eran tan vívidas que casi podía respirarlas. Ningún horror escapaba a su experiencia, ya nada la sorprendía, pero... cuán equivocada estaba. En el despertar de la tragedia, ni Lazlo ni Sarai son quienes solían ser. Uno, deidad; el otro, fantasma: ambos luchan por comprender el alcance de los límites propios de su condición, que antes desconocían, pues la mente oscura de Minya los mantiene rehenes, en su intento de venganza contra Weep.

El sueño elige al soñador, y no al revés, y Lazlo Strange, huérfano de guerra y aprendiz de bibliotecario, ha temido siempre que su sueño eligiera mal. Desde los cinco años ha estado obsesionado con la mítica ciudad perdida de Weep, pero sería preciso alguien más audaz y valiente que él para cruzar medio mundo en su busca. Entonces se le presenta una asombrosa oportunidad en la persona de un héroe llamado Godslayer y una pandilla de legendarios guerreros, así que Lazlo ha de aprovechar su oportunidad o perderá su sueño para siempre.

Two worlds threaten to crumble in the face of a common enemy in the epic conclusion to the New York Times best-selling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy—now with a gorgeous new package! What power can bruise the sky? Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera's rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her.

In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice—save the woman he loves, or everyone else?—while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.
