The Nightjar Sneak Peek

Minden világ beleremeg, amikor a varázslat szárnyra kap. Alice Wyndhamet gyermekkora óta képzeletbeli madarak keserítik… majd egy napon bekopogtat az ajtaján a rejtélyes Crowley, akitől megtudja, hogy különleges képességgel bír: a látomásaiban a lélekmadarakat, az emberek lelkét őrző mitikus lényeket látja. Megtudja ezen kívül a férfitól azt is, hogy üldözőbe vette egy titkos társaság, amely célja, hogy az ő különös képességét felhasználva kiirtson minden mágikus lényt a világból. Alice élete egyik pillanatról a másikra megváltozik, menekülni kényszerül. Megmentőjével átkel London mágikus oldalára, a finn mítoszok istenei által emelt Varjútanya városába. Itt idővel nem csak jobban megismeri varázslatos örökségét, de arra is rájön, hogy az őt körülvevő rejtélyek legnagyobbikát épp a saját lélekmadara őrzi. A brit Deborah Hewitt bemutatkozó regénye a klasszikus urban fantasy zsánere előtt tiszteleg, hangulatában és világépítésében ügyesen idézi fel Neil Gaiman és Ben Aaronovitch korai munkásságát.
