Nick, Silla a její starší bratr Reese experimentují s magií, ale brzy zjišťují, že v ospalém prérijním městečku na ně číhá někdo, kdo v magii krve hledá moc a nesmrtelnost a jehož osud se proplétá historií jejich rodin už dlouhé desítky let... -- 1. vydání. -- zdroj: www.legie.info --

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.
