      V království Aragoa je magie zločinem, za který se platí životem, a této hrozby nejsou ušetřeni ani studenti Vanderberghovy akademie. Viola Sinclairová svou magii stínů odmalička skrývá, protože dobře ví, že ji to může stát všechno. Královna však její tajemství odhalí a pověří svého nejchladnokrevnějšího zabijáka, aby ji během sedmi dní zabil. Pokud to neudělá, zemře on sám. Jenže i zabijáci mají svá tajemství. A kvůli nim jsou ochotni porušit všechna pravidla – i kdyby měl svět lehnout popelem.

Cass lo está pasando fatal desde la noche en que vio ese vehículo en la pista de tierra que atraviesa el bosque, en pleno aguacero, con una mujer al volante, la misma que fue asesinada. Ha intentado olvidarse del crimen, ¿qué podría haber hecho ella para impedirlo? Una carretera así, en un día de tormenta, es peligrosa. Su marido se pondría hecho una furia si supiera que incumplió su promesa de no volver a casa por ese atajo. Además, de haberse detenido a socorrerla, probablemente también ella habría resultado herida. Pero, desde entonces, se le olvida todo: dónde ha dejado el coche, si se ha tomado las pastillas, el código de la alarma, por qué ha comprado un cochecito de bebé si no tiene hijos... Lo único que no consigue olvidar es a esa mujer, a la que podría haber salvado, ni ese insoportable y persistente remordimiento. Ni las llamadas anónimas que recibe, ni la sensación de que la vigilan...

Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You'd like to get to know Grace better ... But it's difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable ... Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows ... Some might wonder what's really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed"--Back cover
