Nevernight - Die Prüfung

"Nevernight" is the first novel in a new visually stunning and epic fantasy series by "New York Times" bestselling author Jay Kristoff.

In a world with three suns, in a city built on the grave of a dead god, a young woman who can speak to shadows seeks revenge.

Mia Corvere has only one goal: revenge. When she was just a little girl, some powerful men of the realm – Francesco Duomo, Justicus Remus, Julius Scaeva – had her father executed as a traitor to the Itreyan Republic and imprisoned her mother. Mia herself narrowly escaped the pursuers and was raised under a different name by the old Mercurio, an antiquities dealer. However, Mercurio is not an ordinary citizen of the Republic; he trains assassins for an assassin order known as the "Red Church." And Mia is no ordinary child; she is a Darkin: since the night her family was destroyed, she has been accompanied by a cat that lives in her shadow and feeds on her fears. Mercurio teaches Mia many things, but to complete her training, she must journey to the secret enclave of the "Red Church," where a dangerous trial awaits her...

Following the science fiction novel "Illuminae," co-written with Amie Kaufman, "Nevernight" is the latest masterpiece from Jay Kristoff: for readers of Anthony Ryan, Patrick Rothfuss, and Sarah J. Maas.
