Otroligt spännande!« BOKTYCKE »Marie Lus Adelina är en antihjältinna som drivs av ett nästan obönhörligt mörker. Det är originellt och uppfriskande.« KIRKUS REVIEWS Adelina Amouteru har fått sitt hjärta djupt sargat av såväl familj som vänner. Något som fått henne att ge sig in på hämndens bittra väg. Hon är nu känd som Vita Vargen, och hon och hennes syster flyr från Kenettra för att leta upp andra ur Den unga eliten, med förhoppningen att kunna bygga upp en egen armé av allierade. Hennes mål: att slå ner Inkvisationsmakterna, de soldater i vita uniformer som försökte döda henne och nästan lyckades. Men Adelina är ingen hjälte. Hennes krafter, närda av rädsla, har börjat växa bortom hennes kontroll. Och hon litar inte på sina nyvunna Eliten-vänner. Teren Santoro, Inkvisationens ledare, vill se henne död. Och hennes tidigare vänner, Raffaele och Dolksällskapet, vill nu sätta stopp för hennes hämndlystnad. Adelina kämpar för att försöka klamra sig fast vid det goda inom sig. Men hur ska en människa kunna vara god, när hela hennes existens är så beroende av mörka krafter?

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside. Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her. It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
