Adéntrate en un mundo exuberante de magia, polvo de estrellas y monstruos en esta cautivadora novela de fantasía contemporánea. Durante siglos, los Everly han visto cómo desaparecían sus mejores y más brillantes miembros, llevados como castigo por un crimen que nadie recuerda, con un propósito que nadie comprende. Su torturadora, una mujer llamada Penelope, nunca envejece, nunca se enferma… y nunca perdona una deuda. Violet Everly era una niña cuando su madre partió en una noche tormentosa, decidida a romper la maldición. Como Marianne no regresa, Penelope emite un ultimátum: Violet tiene diez años para encontrar a su madre, o deberá ocupar su lugar. Violet es la última de la línea Everly, la última en sufrir. A menos que rompa la maldición primero. La búsqueda la lleva a un seductor y mágico submundo lleno de académicos ambiciosos, dioses cambiantes y monstruos sedientos de venganza. Y en el camino también se cruza con Aleksander, el asistente reservado de Penelope, en quien sabe que no puede confiar, pero hacia quien se siente innegablemente atraída. Con el tiempo agotándose, Violet viajará por los confines del mundo para encontrar a Marianne y la llave de la ciudad de polvo de estrellas, donde comenzó la historia de los Everly.
Slip into a lush world of magic, stardust, and monsters in this spellbinding contemporary fantasy from debut author Georgia Summers… For centuries, the Everlys have seen their best and brightest disappear, taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Their tormentor, a woman named Penelope, never ages, never grows sick – and never forgives a debt. Violet Everly was a child when her mother left on a stormy night, determined to break the curse. When Marianne never returns, Penelope issues an ultimatum: Violet has ten years to find her mother, or she will take her place. Violet is the last of the Everly line, the last to suffer. Unless she can break the curse first. Her hunt leads her into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods and monsters bent on revenge. And into the path of Penelope's quiet assistant, Aleksander, who she knows cannot be trusted – and yet to whom she finds herself undeniably drawn. With her time running out, Violet will travel the edges of the world to find Marianne and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly story began.
