1939. In the small, rural community of Augusta Falls, Georgia, twelve-year-old Joseph Vaughan learns of the brutal assault and murder of a young girl, a classmate he knew better than anyone in his class, a girl he quietly loved. The murder is the first in a series of killings that will plague the community over the next decade. Compelled by fear and duty, Joseph gathers a group of friends to form "The Guardians," who vow to watch over the young girls of Augusta Falls. But the murderer evades them and they watch helplessly as one child after another is taken. Even when the killings cease, a shadow of fear follows Joseph for the rest of his life, and the past won't stay buried, even fifty years later.--From publisher's description.

Nel villaggio di Malbry non è facile essere giovani e coltivare i propri sogni. Le regole e la disciplina la fanno da padroni; i giochi e gli incantesimi sono stati proibiti. Eppure Maddy non ha mai smesso di credere nel potere dei sogni e della magia. Lei è diversa da tutti: è ribelle, curiosa, testarda, e sulla mano ha il marchio di una runa. Per molti si tratta di un segno maledetto, ma non per il Guercio, il misterioso straniero che racconta storie affascinanti, l'unico amico di Maddy. È lui a svelarle il misterioso linguaggio delle rune e a introdurla in quell'universo proibito e vietato dove sono nascosti la conoscenza e il segreto delle sue origini. Mentre il futuro inciso sulla sua mano si avvicina giorno dopo giorno, una terribile catastrofe minaccia di distruggere per sempre quel mondo perduto. Maddy è l'unica in grado di salvarlo: sarà un'avventura appassionante e un percorso di crescita, dall'innocenza perduta alla consapevolezza del proprio destino, oltre le cupe regole dell'Ordine. Con Le parole segrete Joanne Harris continua a esplorare la realtà fantastica che l'ha fatta amare da milioni di lettori, fondendo le atmosfere di Chocolat con le antiche mitologie, a cominciare da quelle nordiche, dominate da Odino e Thor.
