Pro Mab Prowdovou je krvavá magie stejně přirozená jako dýchání. Ale když jedno její kouzlo omylem probudí mocnou spící kletbu, magie se jí vymkne z rukou – a probuzená kletba ohrožuje jak ji, tak zcela nemagického chlapce Willa, s nímž se Mab postupně sbližuje. Stejně jako v pozoruhodném debutu Magie krve Tessa Grattonová umně propojuje záhady, romantiku a hrůzu a dává jižanskému gotickému románu novou svěžest.
