Who is Mister Magic? Former child stars reunite to uncover the tragedy that ended their show—and discover the secret of its enigmatic host—in this dark supernatural thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hide.Thirty years after a tragic accident shut down production of the classic children’s program Mister Magic, the five surviving cast members have done their best to move on. But just as generations of cultishly devoted fans still cling to the lessons they learned from the show, the cast, known as the Circle of Friends, have spent their lives searching for the happiness they felt while they were on it. The friendship. The feeling of belonging. And the protection of Mister Magic.   But with no surviving video of the show, no evidence of who directed or produced it, and no records of who—or what—the beloved host actually was, memories are all the former Circle of Friends has. Then a twist of fate brings the castmates back together at the remote desert filming compound that feels like it’s been waiting for them all this time. Even though they haven’t seen each other for years, they understand one another better than anyone has since.  After all, they’re the only ones who hold the secret of that circle, the mystery of the magic man in his infinitely black cape, and, maybe, the answers to what really happened on that deadly last day. But as the Circle of Friends reclaim parts of their past, they begin to wonder: Are they here by choice, or have they been lured into a trap?  Because magic never forgets the taste of your friendship. . . .

VON EINER PRINZESSIN ERWARTET NIEMAND, DASS SIE BRUTAL IST ... ... und genau das spielt Lada Dragwyla in die Hände. Seit sie und ihr sanftmütiger jüngerer Bruder Radu aus ihrer walachischen Heimat gerissen und von ihrem Vater verlassen wurden, um am osmanischen Hof aufzuwachsen, weiß die Prinzessin, dass Rücksichtslosigkeit der Schlüssel zum Überleben ist. Sie und Radu sind dazu verdammt, Schachfiguren in einem bösen Spiel zu sein, in dem ein unsichtbares Schwert über jeder ihrer Bewegungen schwebt. Denn die Abstammung, die sie zu etwas Besonderem macht, macht sie gleichzeitig auch zur Zielscheibe. Lada hegt nichts als Verachtung für die Osmanen und plant ihre Rache für den Tag, an dem sie in die Walachei zurückkehren und ihr Geburtsrecht einfordern kann. Radu hingegen sehnt sich nur nach einem Ort, an dem er sich sicher fühlen kann. Und als sie Mehmed begegnen, dem so trotzigen wie einsamen Sohn des Sultans, der ein ganzes Land regieren soll, hat Radu das Gefühl, einen wahren Freund gefunden zu haben - und Lada fragt sich, ob sie endlich jemanden gefunden hat, der ihrer Leidenschaft würdig ist. Doch Mehmed ist der Erbe genau des Reiches, das Lada zu bekämpfen geschworen hat - und das Radu nun als seine Heimat betrachtet. Zusammen bilden Lada, Radu und Mehmed ein toxisches Dreieck, das die Bande der Liebe und Loyalität bis zum Zerreißen strapaziert.
