Margaret Stohl Libri

L’amore tra Ethan e Lena non può trovare pace se ancora una volta la tranquilla cittadina di Gatlin è sconvolta da eventi misteriosi. La diciottesima luna sta per avvicinarsi, e con essa tornerà l’antica maledizione che incombe sulla famiglia di Lena. La ragazza è sempre più sola e sta perdendo ogni suo potere. Per gli abitanti di Gatlin rimane una sola cosa da fare: sacrificare qualcuno per la salvezza della città. Chi sarà il prescelto?

Ho sempre desiderato fuggire dalla mia soffocante cittadina, Gatlin. Ma non avrei mai immaginato di dover lasciare le anguste pareti in cui si è dipanata la mia esistenza... per amore. La ragazza dei miei sogni, Lena Duchannes, è dotata di poteri soprannaturali. E un segreto oscuro e maledetto attende di essere svelato, un segreto che mi ha portato a un sacrificio tremendo, intrappolandomi in quella specie di torta a tre strati che è il mondo magico. Il mondo della Diciannovesima Luna. Ormai ho un solo obiettivo: trovare la strada per ritornare a Gatlin, da Lena. Ma lei sarà disposta a tutto pur di riavermi con sé? "Tutto" significa fidarsi dei vecchi nemici e mettere a rischio la vita dei nostri cari... Siamo nati sotto una cattiva stella, Lena, ma riusciremo a riscrivere il nostro destino.

Credevo che il nostro paesino, sepolto nella boscaglia della Carolina del Sud, fosse il centro del nulla. Un luogo dove non succedeva mai niente e in cui niente sarebbe mai cambiato. Poi mi innamorai di una Maga. Lei mi fece scoprire un altro mondo fra le crepe dei nostri marciapiedi sconnessi. Un mondo che era lì da sempre, nascosto in bellavista. La Gatlin di Lena era un luogo in cui le cose succedevano, eccome, cose impossibili, sovrannaturali, che cambiavano la vita. Che le ponevano anche fine, a volte. Fino a qualche mese prima, pensavo che nulla sarebbe mai cambiato. Ora che ne sapevo di più, avrei tanto voluto che fosse stato così. Perché a partire dall'istante in cui mi ero innamorato di una Maga, nessuna delle persone a cui volevo bene sarebbe più stata al sicuro. Lena credeva di essere l'unica a essere maledetta, ma si sbagliava. Adesso la sua era diventata, la nostra maledizione.

Le notti di Ethan sono tormentate da strani sogni che hanno per protagonista una misteriosa e bellissima ragazza. Un giorno, nel cortile della scuola, Ethan se la ritrova davanti. È Lena Duchannes, "la ragazza nuova" appena arrivata in città, nipote di Macon Ravenwood, il vecchio eremita pazzo che vive ai confini di Gatlin. Lena è diversa da qualsiasi ragazza Ethan abbia mai incontrato, talmente diversa che a scuola viene subito emarginata. Solo lui, assecondando l'inspiegabile connessione che sembra legarli, la avvicina e se ne innamora perdutamente. Ma Lena nasconde un segreto: la terribile maledizione che da generazioni perseguita la sua famiglia e che si compirà il giorno del suo sedicesimo compleanno.

Winner of the 2013 Goodreads Choice Award for Graphic Novels & Comics! There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
