Melissa Albert Knihy

V Nočním kraji se Alice Proserpinová znovu střetává s výhružným a podmanivým světem temných pohádek a utajených dveří Lískového lesa. Vydejte se s ní a Ellerym Finchem na cestu, při které zjistí, že Lískovým lesem vše teprve začalo a že světy neumírají s fňukáním, ale odchází ve velkém stylu. Před dvěma lety Alice s Finchovou pomocí uprchla z Vnitrozemí a unikla temnému odkazu své samotářské babičky. Nyní je zpět v New Yorku mezi ostatními vyvrheli z její pohádkové domoviny a snaží se začít nový život bez magie. Ale za vnitrozemskými uprchlíky se něco plíží a Alice začíná tušit, že za jejich vraždami se skrývá ještě jiný, zlověstnější účel. Ve skomírajícím Vnitrozemí mezitím Finch pátrá po dobrodružství a – pokud to bude možné – po cestě domů…

Její máma je unesena bytostí, která tvrdí, že pochází z drsného nadpřirozeného světa babiččiných pohádek. Jediným vodítkem je vzkaz, který máma Alici zanechala: DRŽ SE DÁL OD LÍSKOVÉHO LESA. Aby Alice získala mámu zpět, musí se nejdřív vydat do Lískového lesa, a poté do světa, kde babiččiny pohádky začaly...
