    Karou ha 17 anni, è una studentessa d'arte e per le strade di Praga, la città in cui vive, non passa inosservata: i suoi capelli sono di un naturale blu elettrico, la sua pelle è ricoperta da un'intricata filigrana di tatuaggi, parla più di venti lingue e riempie il suo album da disegno di assurde storie di mostri. Spesso scompare per giorni, ma nessuno sospetta che quelle assenze nascondano un oscuro segreto. Figlia adottiva di Sulphurus, il demone chimera, la ragazza attraversa porte magiche disseminate per il mondo per scovare i macabri ingredienti dei riti di Sulphurus: i denti di ogni razza umana e animale. Ma quando Karou scorge il nero marchio di una mano impresso su una di quelle porte, comprende che qualcosa di enorme e pericoloso sta accadendo e che tutto il suo universo, scisso tra l'esistenza umana e quella tra le chimere, è minacciato. Ciò che si sta scatenando è il culmine di una guerra millenaria tra gli angeli, esseri perfetti ma senz'anima, e le chimere, creature orride e grottesche solo nell'aspetto esteriore; è il conflitto tra le figure principi del mito cristiano e quelle dell'immaginario pagano. Nel disperato tentativo di aiutare la sua "famiglia" Karou si scontra con la terribile bellezza di Akiva, il serafino che per amore le risparmierà la vita.

  2. Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war. This is not that world. Art student and monster's apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is—and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it. In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life. While Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. For hope. But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?

  3. Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera's rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her. When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited - not in love, but in a tentative alliance against their common enemy. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves. But with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters? The New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy comes to a stunning conclusion as - from the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond - humans, chimaera, and seraphim strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.
