Having passed her test in Book One, Sunshine’s Luiseach powers are now fully awakened: for months now, Sunshine has felt spirits everywhere: heard voices, felt emotions – intense and sometimes overwhelming. She tries to ignore them, but it is impossible. Hoping to get her powers under control – and hoping for answers to her never-ending questions – she agrees to undergo training with her Luiseach mentor, even though she still hopes to give up her powers someday. She and her mentor clash left and right; he doesn’t understand or approve of her attachment to the humans in her life; and she can’t understand how he could give her up so many years ago, only to endanger her mother’s life as part of a test. Sunshine’s training is every bit as terrifying and creepy as her test was, and along the way she meets and befriends another young Luiseach, forcing her to confront her feelings for Nolan. Though her mentor is reluctant to answer her many questions, she finally learns more about her lineage, as well as the rift that threatens the future of Luiseach and the human race... and the crucial part she has to play in repairing it.

Erwachsenwerden tut manchmal verdammt wehVon außen betrachtet ist Sethies Leben perfekt: Sie besucht eine New Yorker Privatschule, sie besteht den Zulassungstest fürs College mit der höchsten Punktzahl und natürlich hat sie auch schon einen festen Freund, Shaw, den sie zwar ein bisschen mehr liebt als er sie, aber das ist schon in Ordnung. Zumindest, solange Sethie nicht weiter darüber nachdenkt. Doch sie denkt sehr oft nach. Über sich, ihr Leben, ihren Körper. Und dann bekommt ihre Welt Risse, und sie hat das Gefühl, dass ihr alles entgleitet. Die 17-jährige Sethie hat alles im Griff : In der Schule ist sie gut, war sie schon immer, in der Freizeit hängt sie mit coolen Jungen und Mädchen herum, und die Sache mit Shaw, ihrem ersten richtigen Freund, kommt langsam auch in Schwung. Nur das mit dem Essen ist ein täglicher Kampf für Sethie, jedes Stück Pizza, jeder Snack in der Schulcafeteria ist eine neue Herausforderung – und Sethie hat ständig Hunger. Die anderen Mädchen essen scheinbar den ganzen Tag und werden immer dünner. Nur Sethie nicht, dabei hätte sie so gern einen Körper wie die zerbrechlichen und doch so starken Gestalten aus den Märchen ihrer Kindheit, mit Knochen aus Stein, einer Haut aus Glas und Haaren aus Gold … Doch Sethie arbeitet an sich, und jeden Tag kommt sie ihrem Traum ein wenig näher.
