Pahimpia ovat luomamme hirviöt. Satumaisen, kiehtovaa vaaraa tihkuvan romantasia-hittisarjan toinen osa. Calandran viisi kuningaskuntaa horjuvat tuhon partaalla. Hirviöt vaeltavat vainoten meitä, ja ennennäkemätön taistelu lähestyy. Kaiken tämän keskellä olen yksin. Erossa miehestä, joka hallitsee nyt sydäntäni. Yksi yö - hirviöiden yö, totuuksien yö - muuttaa monien elämän. Minä opin silloin pelon todellisen merkityksen ja oman voimani mahdin. Saattavatko paljastamani salaisuudet pelastaa valtakuntamme? Entä voiko uhraukseni vapauttaa rakastamani miehen? Olen pelännyt hirviöitä liian kauan. Nyt minun on aika kohdata hirviö, joka on sisälläni.

Lumoava, kuuma romantasiahitti täynnä legendoja ja hirviöitä - kuin Noituri kohtaisi Tuhkimon. Kansainvälinen bestsellersarja alkaa. Kauan sitten jumalat päästivät hirviöt valloilleen muistuttaakseen meitä ihmisiä voimattomuudestamme. Minäkin olen nöyrästi elänyt kuuliaisen roolini vankina. Prinsessana osani on ollut vain totella. Niin oli, kunnes prinssi ja valtakunnan pahamaineisin hirviönmetsästäjä tuhosivat elämäni. Menin naimisiin tuntemattoman kanssa, allekirjoitin sopimuksen verellä. Kaikki tahtoivat tehdä minusta jotain, mitä en ole: uhri, vakooja, kuningatar... Opin, että kaikki myytit eivät ole satua. Ja että ainoa tapa tappaa pelkäämämme hirviöt on muuttua itse sellaiseksi.

Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters to remind us of our insignificance. But I didn’t need a deity to tell me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance. Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm. That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe. And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .

Kalandras fem kungadömen står på ruinens brant. Kruxmigrationen är på väg. Och i kölvattnet efter en förkrossande attack har jag tvingats från mannen som har mitt hjärta. Jag är vilse. Skräckslagen. Full av hemlängtan. Jagad av monster, utmattad och kidnappad av en mäktig präst. Det enda som får mig att fortsätta är den lilla flickan som litar på att jag kan hålla henne säker. Det är min tur att bli Väktaren. Våra liv förändrades en ödesmättad natt. En natt av död. En natt av monster. En natt av avslöjanden. Den natten lärde jag mig den sanna innebörden av rädsla – och vidden av min egen styrka. Alla vill göra mig till något jag inte är – en drottning, en spion, ett offer. Men tänk om jag väljer att omfamna min kungliga rätt? Om hemligheterna jag avslöjar räddar vårt rike och mitt offer skonar mannen jag älskar? Under för lång tid har jag fruktat monstren vi skapar. Det är dags att upptäcka monstret inom mig. RITES OF THE STARLING är uppföljaren till Davney Perrys storslagna Shield of Sparrows som toppat New York Times bästsäljarlista.
