Seit jeher war Adela von magischen Wesen fasziniert – und nicht nur von den lebendigen: Sie pflegt die Schädel verstorbener Fabelwesen. Diese werden von ausgesuchten Menschen wie Masken über ihren Gesichtern getragen, um damit Magie zu wirken. Kian ist ein solcher Auserwählter und reist mit einer finsteren Agenda in Adelas Tal.

Denn die Magie des Phönix ist es, ihre Welt zu retten – oder für immer zu zerstören.
