In Band 3 der Bestsellerreihe rund um Elias und Laia steht das Martialenimperium am Abgrund: Imperator Marcus überzieht das Land mit dem Blut der Unschuldigen, während Blutgreif Helena diese zu schützen versucht. Weit im Osten weiß Laia, dass sie den Nachtbringer aufhalten muss. Doch dabei kann sie nicht auf Elias zählen. Denn der ist als Seelenfänger an die Zwischenstatt, das Geisterreich, gebunden. Dazu verdammt, bedingungslos zu dienen - auch wenn dies bedeutet, die Frau aufzugeben, die er liebt. Ihrer aller Schicksal ist miteinander verknüpft. Und sie alle kämpfen gegen eine uralte Macht, deren Zerstörungskraft sie unterschätzen ...

Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory - or to an unimaginable doom.

To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save - or destroy - all that he knows.
