Ethan dacht dat hij gewend begon te raken aan vreemde, onmogelijk gebeurtenissen in Gatlin. Maar nu Ethan en Lena weer thuis zijn, hebben de woorden ''vreemd'' en ''onmogelijk'' nieuwe betekenissen gekregen. Zwermen sprinkhanen, recordbrekende hitte en verwoestende stormen teisteren Gatlin. Ethan en Lena proberen te begrijpen wat de vloek van Lena nu eigenlijk betekent. Zelfs Lena''s familie moet geloven aan de chaos. Als de tijd verstrijkt wordt de vraag steeds belangrijker: wat - of wie - moet worden opgeofferd om Gatlin te redden?

Lena e io abbiamo superato le prove più dure, compresa quella di condividere persino l''intimità dei pensieri... senza quasi poterci toccare perché lei è una Maga e con un bacio potrebbe uccidermi.

Ethan y Lena pensaban que ya se habían acostumbrado a los acontecimientos extraños e imposibles que ocurrían en su Gatlin natal. Sin embargo, cuando regresan a casa, las palabras «extraño» e «imposible» adquieren un nuevo significado. Plagas de langosta, oleadas de calor y devastadoras tormentas asolan la ciudad y, a medida que pasa el tiempo, cada vez resulta más evidente que algo, o alguien, deberá sacrificarse por Gatlin... Pero ¿quién? En muchos momentos, no hay sólo una respuesta o un camino. En ocasiones, tampoco hay vuelta atrás. Y esta vez tampoco habrá un final feliz. Hermoso caos es la primera novela de las autoras, la tercera de la saga de las dieciséis lunas. Las anteriores son: Hermosas criaturas y Hermosa oscuridad. «Una de las series con más gancho entre los jóvenes as cosa [...]. Las autoras saben cómo hacer la lectura atractiva». Qué leer «Entretenida, llena de magia y con un final que no deja indiferente. Las autoras han sabido crear un lugar donde nada es lo que parece». Fantasymundo «Los lectores se verán absorbidos por una tenebrosa y cuidada atmósfera, por el relato y la crítica de la vida sureña y por un completo y profundo universo fantástico». Publisher’s Weekly «Algo completamente diferente... A los jóvenes les encantará: romance, magia, tormentos y la promesa de mucho más por venir». Booklist

Liebe noch vor dem ersten Blick ... Schon bevor Ethan sie zum ersten Mal gesehen hat, hat sie ihn in seinen Träumen verfolgt: Lena, die Neue an Ethans Schule. Lena, das Mädchen mit dem schwarzen Haar und den grünen Augen. Lena, die in Ravenwood wohnt, der verrufenen alten Plantage, von der sich alle in Gatlin fernhalten - alle ausser Ethan. Lena, in die Ethan sich unsterblich verliebt. Doch Lena umgibt ein Fluch, den sie mit aller Kraft geheim zu halten versucht: Sie ist eine Caster, sie entstammt einer Familie von Hexen, und an ihrem sechzehnten Geburtstag soll sie berufen werden. Dann wird sich entscheiden, ob Lena eine helle oder eine dunkle Hexe wird ... Ethan aber weiss: Auch ihm bleibt keine Wahl - ihm ist vorherbestimmt, Lena für immer zu lieben. Aber wird er bei ihr bleiben können, gleich, welcher Seite sie künftig angehört? ''The Legion - Der Kreis der Fünf'' ist Kami Garcias neuer Roman.

Die Bücher stürmten die internationalen Bestsellerlisten, erhielten zahlreiche Preise, und inzwischen wurde ''Sixteen Moons'' unter dem Titel ''Beautiful Creatures - Eine unsterbliche Liebe'' von Hollywoodregisseur Richard LaGravanese verfilmt. Kami lebt mit ihrer Familien im kalifornischen Los Angeles.
