Ergebnis für "Ray" in Science Fiction & Fantasy

Rage hat es geschafft: Nach einem erbitterten Kampf um die Krone ist er nun der rechtmäßige Alphakönig und seine Familie in Sicherheit. Doch kurz darauf verschwindet seine Schicksalsgefährtin Nai spurlos, und alle Zeichen deuten darauf hin, dass sie ins Reich der Hochmagier entführt wurde. High Mage Island ist jedoch verbotenes Land, und für Rage tun sich immer mehr Probleme auf. Zwischen den verstoßenen Wandlern, den Magiern der unteren Klassen und den seltsamen Todesfällen in Dark Row kämpft er mit dem immer weiterwachsenden Druck seiner neuen Position als König.

Für Nai steht alles auf dem Spiel: das Band zu ihrem Schicksalsgefährten, die Sicherheit ihrer Familie und ihre eigene Freiheit.

Doch als dunkle Mächte nicht nur Shifter Island, sondern auch High Mage Island bedrohen, müssen sich die Magier und Gestaltwandler zusammenraufen, um nicht jede Hoffnung auf Frieden zu verlieren. Nai muss sich fragen, wer wirklich auf der Seite des Bösen und des Guten steht - und wem sie vertrauen kann.
