Lauren Kate Fallen Novels & Stories

In der Nacht ihres achtzehnten Geburtstags hatte Nyra Virellion alles. Reichtum. Macht. Eine liebevolle Familie. Eine Zukunft als Erbin des mächtigen Darkforest-Rudels – und einen Verlobten, der geschworen hatte, sie immer zu beschützen. Am Morgen hatte sie nichts mehr. Ihre Eltern werden brutal ermordet. Die Ältesten wenden sich von ihr ab. Der Beta, dem sie vertraut hatte, stiehlt ihr Geburtsrecht. Und der Mann, den sie heiraten wollte, verrät sie auf die demütigendste Weise, die man sich vorstellen kann. Ihres Titels beraubt und aus ihrem eigenen Rudel verstoßen, entdeckt Nyra die grausame Wahrheit: Die Menschen, die ihr am nächsten standen, hatten die ganze Zeit gegen sie intrigiert. Doch als sie versuchen, sie zu einer Ehe mit genau dem Mann zu zwingen, der ihr Leben zerstört hat, greift jemand Unerwartetes ein. Ein mysteriöser und gefährlich mächtiger Lycan-Alpha – einer, dem selbst die stärksten Wölfe Respekt zollen – weigert sich, das geschehen zu lassen. Und in dem Moment, in dem sich ihre Blicke begegnen, verändert sich alles. Denn das gebrochene Mädchen, das sie wegwerfen wollten, könnte weit wichtiger sein, als irgendjemand ahnt. Nun von Feinden umgeben, von Verrat gejagt und an ein Schicksal gebunden, das sie nie erwartet hatte, muss Nyra sich entscheiden: Wird sie das machtlose Mädchen bleiben, das sie verstoßen haben … oder wird sie sich erheben und alles zurückfordern, was man ihr gestohlen hat?

KLAPPENTEXT Sie war nie dazu bestimmt, gesehen zu werden. Mit flammend rotem Haar in einem Rudel, das die Reinheit des schwarzen Wolfsblutes verehrte, war Mona die unsichtbare Tochter der Blackrock-Alpha-Linie. Übersehen, zum Schweigen gebracht und aus jedem Familienporträt herausgeschnitten, verbrachte sie ihre Kindheit damit, in der Küchenecke Essensreste zu essen, während ihre Geschwister wie Könige speisten. Sie besiegte ihren Bruder auf dem Trainingsplatz, und doch wandte sich ihr Vater von ihr ab. Sie sang bei Festen, und doch reichte ihre Mutter ihr ein Kopftuch. Sie überlebte. Sie hielt durch. Sie wartete. Aber selbst die geduldigste Flamme kann zu weit getrieben werden. Als ihre verräterische Schwester Selena das Heilige Relikt des Rudels stiehlt und Mona den Diebstahl anhängt, bricht etwas Altes und Zorniges in ihr auf. Auf dem Boden der Versammlungshalle, blutig und gedemütigt, tut Mona das Einzige, was noch nie ein Blackrock getan hat: Sie sagt sich von ihrer Blutlinie los. Die Worte fahren wie ein Flächenbrand durch sie hindurch, und genau das antwortet darauf. Das Halsband der Knechtschaft um ihren Hals wird zu Asche. Ihr rotes Haar entflammt. Der Phönixwolf – eine Blutlinie älter als das Rudel selbst, älter als ihre Gesetze, älter als ihr Stolz – erwacht in ihrer Haut. Mit ihrer besten Freundin Sophie an ihrer Seite flieht Mona zur Ashen Academy, dem einzigen neutralen Boden der Reiche, wo Stärke Währung ist und Herkunft nichts zählt. Dort beginnt Mona unter den wachsamen Augen von Derek – einem kampferprobten Ausbilder mit kalter Fassade und brennendem Kern – die harte Arbeit, etwas zu werden, das die Welt noch nie gesehen hat: sie selbst. Doch das Blackrock-Rudel hat sie nicht vergessen. Und sie kommen.
