Questa serie segue un giovane mago mentre naviga in un mondo pieno di magia, pericolo e relazioni complesse. Il protagonista deve padroneggiare le sue straordinarie abilità mentre stringe legami e affronta minacce. È un avvincente mix di avventura fantasy, emozioni sincere e il viaggio universale alla scoperta di sé.
Simon Snow è il peggior prescelto di sempre. Questo è ciò che sostiene Baz, il suo compagno di stanza. Baz potrà anche essere un vampiro e un nemico, ma ha probabilmente ragione. Per la maggior parte del tempo infatti Simon non sa far funzionare la sua bacchetta, oppure non sa controllare il suo inestinguibile potere mandando tutto a fuoco. Il suo mentore lo evita, la sua ragazza lo ha lasciato, e un mostro con la sua faccia si aggira per Watford, la scuola di magia in cui frequentano l'ultimo anno. Allora perché Baz non riesce a fare a meno di stargli sempre intorno?
THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON Simon Snow is back and he's coming to America! The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after... So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light... That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place... With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It’s another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter. Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.
In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought
they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they
wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.
In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to
decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means deciding whether he still
wants to be part of the World of Mages - and if he doesn't, what does that
mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two
family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound
vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American
Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha?
Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang
back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest
and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells
secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. Carry On was conceived
as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about
endings. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the
traumas and triumphs that try to define us.
