Synopsis

The mesmerizing conclusion to the Night and Nothing series—a blending of Scottish fairy tale and modern magic that is part Buffy the Vampire Slayer and part Alice in Wonderland—finds Finn fighting against the land of the dead.

When her beloved Jack disappears, Finn vows to find him—even if it means a daring odyssey into the land of the dead. But saving Jack comes at a terrible price: a dangerous fissure has opened, giving the dead access to the true world.

The lines between worlds are more blurred than ever. Finn’s sister, Lily, recently returned from the Ghostlands, seems to bear no scars from her time there. But then their friend Moth returns from Sombrus, the magical house once owned by Seth Lot, bearing shocking news. Something evil—a fearsome creature bearing a striking resemblance to Jack—has escaped Sombrus and is now stalking Fair Hollow, killing everyone it encounters, transforming them into terrifying Jacks and Jills and recruiting the Unseelie.

It will not stop until it gets what it wants . . .

Finn.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

“Harbour makes love, suffering, and sacrifice the most poignant parts of her worlds, and readers with even the barest knowledge of fairy lore and legends will be pulled deep into this tale of sharp magic and its ruthless children. ”—Publishers Weekly

Three months have passed since Finn’s beloved Jack traded his life for her sister’s, walking into the underworld to take Lily’s place. No one speaks of the Fata these days; everyone is pretending everything is normal.

But Finn cannot forget. And when she makes a daring odyssey into the world of the dead to bring Jack back, she inadvertently opens a dangerous fissure, giving the dead access to the true world.

With the lines between worlds more blurred than ever, Finn’s friend Moth returns from Sombrus, the magical house once owned by Seth Lot, with terrible news: Something evil—something that resembles Jack—has escaped Sombrus. Now Fair Hollow is at risk from this Jack-like creature that will not stop until it gets what it wants. . . . And it wants Finn.
