Cael McAvoy is on the run.
He’s heading toward the Empyrean to rescue his sister, Merelda, and to find Gwennie before she’s lost to Cael forever. With his pals, Lane and Rigo, Cael journeys across the Heartland to catch a ride into the sky. But with Boyland and others after them, Cael and his friends won’t make it through unchanged.
Gwennie’s living the life of a Lottery winner, but it’s not what she expected. Separated from her family, Gwennie makes a bold move—one that catches the attention of the Empyrean and changes the course of an Empyrean man’s life.
The crew from Boxelder aren’t the only folks willing to sacrifice everything to see the Empyrean fall. The question is: Can the others be trusted?
They’d all better hurry. Because the Empyrean has plans that could ensure that the Heartland never fights back again.
Chuck Wendig’s riveting sequel to Under the Empyrean Sky plunges readers into an unsettling world of inequality and destruction, and fleshes out a cast of ragtag characters all fighting for survival and, ultimately, change.

Nur mal eben die Welt retten
Wieder einmal sind Clary und Jace entkommen, allerdings ist ihre Welt nicht mehr die Gleiche. Sebastian Morgenstern bedeutet noch immer eine übergroße Gefahr für die Shadowhunter und die, die ihnen nahe stehen. Immer häufiger schickt Sebastian seine Vasallen, um die Festungen der Shadowhunter anzugreifen und die Shadowhunter in etwas zu verwandeln, das schlimmer ist als der Tod. Damit bedroht er alles, was die Shadowhunter ausmacht und auch den Schutz, den sie der Welt bieten. Zunächst bleibt nichts als die Flucht nach Idris.
In diesem letzten Band der „Mortal Instruments“ Reihe bietet die Autorin noch einmal einiges an Spannung auf. Die Aera der Shadowhunter scheint zu Ende zu gehen und von etwas Schlimmeren abgelöst zu werden. Bang fragt man sich, ob und wie dieses schlimme Schicksal abgewendet werden kann. So sind Clary und Jace zunächst gezwungen, sich den Gegebenheiten zu beugen. Ein Ausweg scheint nicht in Sicht. Wie bei einem Puzzle müssen kleine Hinweise zusammengesetzt werden, um Möglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Packend liest sich die Auflösung der Geschichte um Clary, Jace und Sebastian, mit dem die Shadowhunter enger verbunden sind als ihnen lieb sein kann. Ineinander verwobene Handlungsstränge, die auch auf die weiteren Bücher der Autorin verweisen, fesseln, lassen es aber auch sinnvoll erscheinen, die Romane komplett gelesen zu haben. Nicht immer eine leichte Aufgabe, denn eine neue Welt, von der zu erzählen sein wird, ist bereits am Entstehen.
