Inghilterra, fine Ottocento. James e Charlotte sono due fratelli orfani che vivono in una dimora signorile sperduta nella campagna inglese. Una volta cresciuti le loro strade si dividono: James, timido aspirante scrittore, terminati gli studi a Oxford divide l’appartamento in affitto a Londra con un affascinante giovane aristocratico. Grazie alle conoscenze del ragazzo, viene introdotto nei salotti dell’alta società e trova l’amore dove non se lo sarebbe mai aspettato. Poi, improvvisamente, scompare senza lasciare traccia. Preoccupata e determinata a trovarlo, la sorella Charlotte parte per Londra e s’immerge nelle tetre atmosfere della città industriale, dove scopre l’esistenza di un mondo segreto, popolato da personaggi incredibili e loschi che vivono ai margini della città. Un mondo in cui i confini della realtà hanno assunto forme tutte nuove. Per lei si apriranno le imponenti porte di una delle istituzioni più autorevoli e impenetrabili del paese: l’Ægolius club, luogo di ritrovo degli uomini più ambiziosi e pericolosi d’Inghilterra, cupo circolo d’élite che cela mille segreti, uno più terrificante dell’altro: una serie di sorprese che lasceranno il lettore senza fiato fino all’ultima pagina. Nel suo coinvolgente romanzo d’esordio, Lauren Owen ha creato un universo fantastico che risulta allo stesso tempo accattivante e spaventoso, dove la seduzione del gotico si fonde con l’incanto dell’ambientazione vittoriana.

Rebekkah Barrow never forgot the tender attention her grandmother, Maylene, bestowed upon the dead of Claysville. While growing up, Rebekkah watched as Maylene performed the same unusual ritual at every funeral: three sips from a small silver flask followed by the words, “Sleep well, and stay where I put you.” Now Maylene is gone and Bek must return to the hometown—and the man—she abandoned a decade ago, only to discover that Maylene’s death was not natural . . . and there was good reason for her odd traditions. In Claysville, the worlds of the living and the dead are dangerously connected—and beneath the town lies a shadowy, lawless land ruled by the enigmatic Charles, aka Mr. D. From this dark place the deceased will return if their graves are not properly minded. And only the Graveminder, a Barrow woman, and the current Undertaker, Byron, can set things to right once the dead begin to walk. . . .

Melissa Marr's New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series continues with the fourth - and penultimate - installment in the darkly seductive story about the collision of the mortal and faery worlds...

Otec tří sester, profesor Andreas, hovoří převážně v Shakespearových verších, své nejhlubší pocity sděluje „slovy muže, který je už téměř čtyři sta let mrtvý“. Zatímco jiné děti se v idylickém univerzitním městečku Barnwell dívají na televizi, Andreasovy dcery, pojmenované po Shakespearových hrdinkách Rose (Rosalind; Jak se vám líbí), Bean (Bianca; Zkrocení zlé ženy) a Cordy (Cordelia; Král Lear), chodí do knihovny. Jsou do knih tak ponořené, že jsou si sice blízké, nenaučily se však spolu vycházet. „Chápejte, my se navzájem milujeme, jen se prostě nemáme moc rády.“ A nyní se po mnoha letech vracejí domů, protože jejich matka umírá na rakovinu… Při péči o maminku jsou však všechny tři ponořené do svých vlastních problémů, každá prožívá svůj vlastní zápas o to, aby skutečně dospěla a zároveň nalezla místo, které by mohla nazývat svým domovem. Úspěšný a čtivý debut americké spisovatelky Eleanor Brownové je vtipný a vážný zároveň. Díky tomu, že Brownová celý román vypráví v první osobě množného čísla, zachycuje propojení sester i na stylistické rovině.
