Per la trentenne Piglet – soprannome poco lusinghiero che le è rimasto appiccicato dall'infanzia – sposarsi significa coronare la vita che progetta da sempre. Lei e il fidanzato Kit sono il ritratto della felicità domestica: padroni di casa perfetti, impegnati nell'organizzazione del matrimonio perfetto, con amici perfetti. Ma se una vita sembra troppo bella per essere vera, probabilmente lo è: tredici giorni prima delle nozze, Kit rivela alla futura sposa una terribile verità, un segreto che manda in frantumi la loro realtà.

The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don't know what's coming. We have to be smart. Fighting them one on one isn't an option so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won't be easy, but if we pull it off, they'll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course there’s a catch—all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

Fate has torn us apart. Without my sister, the world seems darker than ever before and the shadows loom thicker, rising up to answer the call of the Shadow Princess and changing the face of Solaria for good. Now Lionel Acrux has the strength to make a move for the throne, I’m not sure how much...

Hell Week has begun. Senior students have been tasked with making the freshmen's lives pure torture as we prepare to face The Reckoning—the assessment that will decide whether we stay at Zodiac Academy or lose our places here forever. With the Lunar Eclipse on the horizon, my sister and I have more to worry about than just passing our exams. A dark plot is unfolding and the shadows are drawing closer. It looks like our enemies could be more powerful than we ever realised.

Non gli importa di chi ne farà le spese: dimostrerà di essere l’unico candidato valido e farà di tutto per raggiungere il suo obiettivo. A partire dall’annientare l'ostacolo più grande: lei.

The shadows are in my blood. I can feel them crawling through me, slithering under my skin and taking me hostage. But the darkness within me isn't nearly as bad as the darkness that lives around me. The four Celestial Heirs will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of me and my sister. But they haven't figured out yet, that we're the strongest creatures they've ever known. And when that secret comes out, we need to be ready to face them as well as any other cruel Fae who rises against us. It’s us or them. And it damn well won’t be us.

The stars have cursed us all. After the devastating events at Zodiac Academy, we have to deal with this hollow reality we're faced with. Lionel seeks to destroy us, the Nymphs seek to destroy the entire Fae race, and between all of it, we have to try and survive each day and prove our worth in this forsaken place. I'm afraid of everything falling apart, but it looks like it already has. Death lurks around every corner, and it wants to claim me and my sister. But together, we will overcome the darkness that seeks to defeat us.

Al 17 di rue des Saules, nel cuore di Montmartre, le giornate sono scandite da piccole abitudini e buone maniere, e la vita degli inquilini scorre lenta tra un pain au chocolat e due chiacchiere pacifiche davanti a un caffè bollente. Non c'è nulla che Berthe, portinaia dai capelli di neve, non sappia di loro. Così una mattina, quando per la prima volta in vent'anni Monsieur Gorin non ritira il suo giornale, la donna non ha dubbi: qualcosa non torna.
