For fans of The Raven Boys and American Gods. Following up on the cliffhanger ending of Book 1, where Anna has learned who is responsible for the series of bestial murders taking place in her hometown and learns that they are connected with an ancient prophecy about the end of the world. Book 2 sets off with Anna reaching Hrafnheim, an unknown parallel world full of gods, demigods and creatures. There she is picked up by soldiers of the ruler Ragnara, but a renegade officer of the army, Rorik, frees her. Together, they set out to free her twin sister, Serén, who has been captured by Ragnara. The road to the capital of Sént is fraught with deadly dangers, and the vision of her own murder plagues Anna ceaselessly. She begins to understand more and more that Ragnarok, the downfall of the world, is directly linked to her own fate . . .

This book contains Count Dracula''s rather true memoirs. And there are tons of hideous creatures in it. Giant yetis, insidious werewolves, slimy fish monsters... You might learn things you didn''t know about monsters before. Hair-raising things that make these monsters appear friendly, even downright human. So, take my advice, you only have one chance: put the book down quickly and move on before you get caught in its clutches! But if you do read this book, you will be enchanted by the incredibly imaginative full-colour illustrations throughout, the fabulously appealing cover, and the original wit captured within.
