Лиза Максвелл – лучшие книги

Виртуозная воровка Эста живет в Нью-Йорке, населенном не только обычными людьми, но и магами. Вот только магов здесь ненавидят. Борьбу с ними возглавляет могущественный и грозный Орден Золотой Зари. Если никто не остановит Орден, магам не выжить. Но у кого хватит на это сил и знаний? Эста считает, что на такое способен только ее наставник – старый, мудрый маг профессор Локлен. Девушка готова выполнить любое его задание и с радостью отправляется в прошлое за мифической «Книгой Тайн», которая поможет сразиться с Орденом.

Родители Эсты были убиты. Ее жизнь была украдена. И все, что она знала о магии, было ложью. Она думала, что Книга Тайн является ключом к освобождению Мага из рук Ордена, но опасность на страницах книги была больше, чем она могла себе представить.

Теперь яростная сила Книги живет в Харте. Если он не сможет контролировать эту силу, то разорвет мир на части, чтобы отомстить, и использует Эсту, чтобы сделать это.

Чтобы победить эту опасность, Эста и Харт должны выследить четыре камня стихий, разбросанных по всему континенту. Но мир за пределами города не похож на то, что они ожидали. За Границей есть Маг, не желающий жить в тени - и Орден не одинок в своей миссии уничтожить их.

Успеет ли та, которая умеет путешествовать во времени, переписать историю?

For as long as she can remember, Gwendolyn Allister has never had a place to call home—all because her mother believes that monsters are hunting them. Now these delusions have brought them to London, far from the life Gwen had finally started to build for herself. The only saving grace is her best friend, Olivia, who’s coming with them for the summer.

But when Gwen and Olivia are kidnapped by shadowy creatures and taken to a world of flesh-eating sea hags and dangerous Fey, Gwen realizes her mom might have been sane all along.

The world Gwen finds herself in is called Neverland, yet it’s nothing like the stories. Here, good and evil lose their meaning and memories slip like water through her fingers. As Gwen struggles to remember where she came from and find a way home, she must choose between trusting the charming fairy-tale hero who says all the right things and the roguish young pirate who promises to keep her safe.

With time running out and her enemies closing in, Gwen is forced to face the truths she’s been hiding from all along. But will she be able to save Neverland without losing herself?

Evade the serpent.

Heed the curse.

Rewrite the present.

Esta isn’t a stranger to high-stakes heists. She’s a seasoned thief who has no reservations about using her affinity for time to give her an edge, and she’s trained her whole life for one mission: travel back to 1902 New York, steal the ancient Book of Mysteries, and use its power to destroy the Brink and free the Mageus from the Order’s control.

But the Book held a danger that no one anticipated—Seshat, an angry goddess was trapped within its pages. Now that terrible power lives within Harte, and if given the chance, Seshat will use Esta to destroy the world and take her revenge.

Only Esta and Harte stand in her way.

Yet in their search to recover the elemental stones needed to bind Seshat’s power, Esta and Harte have found themselves stranded in time with a continent between them. As Esta fights to get back to Harte, the Order is no longer the only obstacle standing in her way.

Saving Harte—and magic itself—will put even Esta’s skills to the test. And all the while, another danger grows, one more terrible than both Seshat and the Order combined...

Once, Esta believed that she could change the fate of magic. She traveled to the past and stopped the Magician from destroying a mystical book that held the key to freeing her people from the Brink, an energy barrier that traps all Mageus who cross it.

But the Book was more than she bargained for. So was the Magician she was tasked to steal it from.

Hunted by an ancient evil, Esta and Harte have raced through time and across a continent to track down the powerful artifacts they need to bind the Book’s devastating power. They’ve lost family, betrayed friends, and done what they’d both vowed never to do: fallen in love with the one person who could truly destroy them.

Now, with only one artifact left, their search has brought them back to New York, the city where it all began. But nothing in Manhattan is as they left it. Their friends have scattered, their enemies have grown more powerful, and as the deadly Brink beckons, their time is running out.

If they can’t find a way to end the threat they’ve created, then the very heart of magic will die—and it will take the world down with it.
