La scuola è appena finita a New York e Sierra Santiago, un’adolescente portoricana, si prepara a trascorrere l’estate divertendosi con i suoi amici e lavorando al murale che sta dipingendo. Ma i suoi piani saltano quando i murales di Brooklyn iniziano a trasformarsi: i colori sbiadiscono, i volti piangono e cambiano espressione. Suo nonno Lázaro poi, duramente colpito da un ictus, riacquista lucidità solo per qualche minuto per lanciarle un avvertimento: Sierra è in pericolo, deve trovare un ragazzo di nome Robbie e insieme devono finire il suo murale al più presto. Be’, New York sarà anche una città caotica, ma è chiaro che sta accadendo qualcosa d’incomprensibile... Sempre più confusa, Sierra riesce a rintracciare il misterioso ragazzo e con il suo aiuto verrà a conoscenza di un importante segreto: lei è una plasmaombre, ovvero possiede il potere di veicolare gli spiriti degli antenati attraverso l’arte. Sfortunatamente, però, sembra che qualcuno sia sulle sue tracce, qualcuno disposto a tutto pur di sottrarle quel dono... Con l’aiuto di Robbie e dei suoi amici, Sierra dovrà imparare in fretta a manipolare l’arte magica in suo possesso, prima di perdere tutto ciò che ama. Un’avventura grandiosa. Un romanzo destinato a lasciare il segno.

Sierra receives a strange card depicting a beast called the Hound of Light--an image from the enigmatic, influential Deck of Worlds. The shadowshapers know their next battle has arrived.
