Možná mi ukradli minulost, ale nikdy nedopustím, aby mě připravili o budoucnost. Zeď, jež odedávna oddělovala svět Dananů a lidí, se zhroutila a Bojovníci tmy se dostali ze svého mrazivého vězení. MacKayla Laneová uvízla ve smrtelné pasti. Dostala se do spárů Pána a vládce, jenž ji připravil o paměť, takže neví, kdo je: jediná žijící vidoucí schopná najít starodávnou knihu tajemných kouzel Sinsar Dubh, klíč k nadvládě nad oběma světy. Osamocena bojuje o svou vlastní duši, a přestože se jí daří tuhle bitvu vyhrát, je to jen první krok na dlouhé cestě. Bojuje s Danany a zabředá do vnitřních sporů záhadné sekty vidoucích. Netuší, komu může věřit a kdo se ji pouze snaží využít. Ztrácí se v nepřehledném světě Dananů, kde nic není takové, jak se zdá. Jak se v něm vyznat, když se nevyzná ani sama v sobě?

Druhý díl z pětidílné řady od úspěšné autorky přináší pokračování příběhu hlavní hrdinky, která se po smrti své sestry rozhodne vypátrat jejího vraha. Její cesta ji zavede do nebezpečného světa Nesmrtelných a dávných tajemství, kde se setkává s tajemnými muži – bohatým knihkupcem Jerichem Barronsem a přitažlivým dananským princem V’lanem. Aby přežila a odhalila pravdu o sestřině smrti, musí se naučit důvtipně využívat pomoc obou mužů, kterým však nedůvěřuje. Klíčem k jejímu úspěchu je nalezení Sinsar Dubh, starobylé knihy černé magie, která ovládá svět nesmrtelných i smrtelných bytostí. Stínová říše Dananů, která po tisíciletí existovala vedle lidského světa, se začíná prolínat s realitou, a Mac se stává osamělým bojovníkem za záchranu svého druhu. Autorka zvyšuje tempo a nabízí nová dobrodružství a milostné scény, zatímco postavy se vyvíjejí a prohlubují. Mac se proměňuje z rozmazlené dívky v neúnavnou bojovnici, zatímco se dozvídáme více o Barronsovi. Nové postavy oživují děj a přinášejí napětí, zatímco autorčina precizní práce s dialogy posouvá příběh k dalšímu očekávanému pokračování.

HOREČKA Dananů je třetí díl sedmidílné řady slavné americké spisovatelky Karen Moning, která na sebe upozornila především romantickými příběhy ze skotské Vysočiny, od nichž se přesunula do světa tajemství a záhad, napětí a vášně. Kniha přibližuje další osudy MacKayly Laneové, dívky z malého jižanského města, jejíž bezstarostný život končí ve chvíli, kdy v Dublinu najdou tělo její mrtvé sestry a ona se rozhodne vypátrat jejího vraha. Vyráží do Irska, kde chce mimo jiné najít záhadnou knihu, o níž se zmínila sestra v poslední zprávě. Setkává se s tajemným Jerichem Barronsem a záhadnými bytostmi z tisíce let staré říše Dananů, která dlouho existovala vedle světa lidí, ale nyní jej začíná ohrožovat. Zabředá do složitého přediva vztahů a postupně si stále jasněji uvědomuje svou zodpovědnost v boji za zachování lidského rodu. Se střídavými úspěchy odolává nástrahám sil zla a snaží se najít nové spojence, neboť si uvědomuje, že sama nemá naději na úspěch.

Mac je obyčejná holka z malého jižanského města, která se stará především o nehty a dokonalé opálení. Její bezstarostný život ale trvá jen do chvíle, kdy najdou tělo její mrtvé sestry, která jí stačila v hlasové schránce zanechat podivný vzkaz... Ve snaze přijít tajemství na kloub vyráží do Dublinu, kde nachází sestřin rozházený byt a množství stop. Postupně se zaplétá do přediva klamu a lží a zjišťuje, že je stejně jako její mrtvá sestra obdařena zrakem, jímž dokáže nahlédnout do světa, který zůstává ostatním lidem utajen. Zajímá ji jediné: najít knihu, která možná stála její sestru život a může přivodit zkázu celému lidstvu.
