After a life of hiding and laying low so as not to end up trapped in the Underworld, that's exactly where Reagan finds herself. It could be worse, though. She could've had a hostile father as her jailor instead of a man eager to teach her magic. She might've been trapped with someone other than the steadfast Druid. She could've gone her whole life without riding a dragon! When push comes to shove, maybe the Underworld isn't so bad. Or maybe Lucifer is doing what he does best—deceiving her to get what he wants.

Left to find someone that can fill the role, it isn’t until a formal dinner party goes horribly wrong that I find the best (and worst) solution imaginable: Reagan Somerset.

In mutiger Selbstbefragung führt uns Sophia Fritz dorthin, wo es weh tut, und zeigt uns ein Phänomen, von dem wir gerade erst begreifen, wie sehr es unsere Lebenswelt bestimmt: Toxische Weiblichkeit.
