From the bestselling author of The Shadow of The Wind , the haunting story of a ghostly ship and an age-old curse. In 1943, Max Carver's father - a watchmaker and inventor - decides to move his family to a small town on the coast, to an abandoned house that holds many secrets and stories of its own. Behind the house Max discovers an overgrown garden surrounded by a metal fence topped with a six-pointed star. In the centre is a large statue of a clown set in another six-pointed star. As the family settles in they grow increasingly uneasy: Max’s sister Alicia has disturbing dreams while his other sister, Irina, hears voices whispering to her from an old wardrobe. With his new friend Roland, Max also discovers the wreck of a boat that sank many years ago in a terrible storm. Everyone on board perished except for one man - an engineer who built the lighthouse at the end of the beach. As they learn more about the wreck, the chilling story of a legendary figure called the Prince of Mist begins to emerge...

Lo scarabeo di lapislazzuli, prezioso gioiello destinato alla regina Nefertari, sposa del faraone Ramses II, viene sfiorato nella bottega dell'orefice reale dal tocco magico di un dio minore e comincia a vedere, a sentire, a pensare. E a raccontare la sua favolosa vita millenaria di muto spettatore e protagonista.
