I have two rules for survival: never trust a demon, and never make a deal with one. Trapped in the demon realm, I’m about to break both. If I want to escape, I’ll have to bargain with creatures who thrive on contracts written in blood—and the cost of breaking them is death. Waiting for me on the other side isn’t freedom. It's fallout. A god—who happens to be my mother—wants me dead. An unforgiving fae wants me gone at any cost and doesn’t care that we’re related. And I owe a debt to the city’s most dangerous vampire.

A happily ever after with my summer fae men was within our reach...until the Heart of the Mists tied me to one of the foreboding winter arch-lords. I can't escape the connection between us. The enemy can speak from right within my soul. I'm not willing to give up on my happiness so easily, but I can't let the realms descend into all-out war. I'll brave the uncertainties of the winter realm if that's what it takes to protect the men I love. My chilly Unseelie arch-lord isn't quite what I expected, though. There's passion beneath his icy front...and also so much pain.

Il primo romanzo della saga di The Raven Cycle. Agli studenti della Aglionby Academy, conosciuti come Ragazzi Corvo, non manca nulla: soldi, bellezza, macchine costose. Gansey, però, è in cerca di qualcosa di più: Owen Glendower, un antico re gallese che, secondo le leggende, giace addormentato sotto una montagna. Nella sua ricerca è affiancato da Adam, che frequenta la scuola con una borsa di studio ed è pieno di risentimento verso l'ambiente privilegiato che lo circonda; da Ronan, un'anima selvaggia divisa tra rabbia e disperazione; e da Noah, tanto attento a cogliere i dettagli quanto taciturno.
