»Ich bin der Wind in den Bäumen, bin Schatten und Schrecken. Das Echo in den Blättern - der Nachtmahr, dich zu wecken.« Wer von der Magie befallen ist, die im Nebel von Blunder lauert, wird von der Königsgarde vernichtet. Doch Elspeth Spindle hat überlebt, dank des düsteren Wesens, das in ihrem Geist gefangen ist und ihr enorme Kräfte verleiht. Eines Nachts begegnet sie im Wald einem geheimnisvollen Mann. Ravyn Yew, Hauptmann der königlichen Streiter, will den Fluch des Nebels brechen. Dazu benötigt er zwölf magische Karten, die nur Elspeth finden kann. Und so muss sie nicht nur dem Mann vertrauen lernen, den sie immer als ihren größten Feind sah, sondern sich auch der Anziehung zwischen Ravyn und ihr stellen. Und es gibt noch eine Wahrheit, der sie nicht entrinnen kann: Das Wesen in ihr droht alsbald ihren Geist zu verschlingen ... »Eine Geschichte mit Zähnen und Klauen, die ganz und gar verzaubert. Gilligs Sprache wird euch in ihren Bann ziehen.« ALLISON SAFT Band 1 der THE SHEPERD KING -Dilogie

"Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last, and most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders. If they are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom. And the only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares Elspeth's head: The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer"--
