Tim Lieder's anthology is an entertaining trip into the Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone. It is a place where a War Against Clowns is violently waged, a magician is taught magic by a scottish crab, a pretty lycanthrope unleashes her wild side in a London club, and a not so imaginary friend helps a shy young man get the girl. Sadly there are no cannibal teddy bears to be found in any of the stories. Maybe in the next anthology. --- Chadwick Saxelid

Für Nai steht alles auf dem Spiel: das Band zu ihrem Schicksalsgefährten, die Sicherheit ihrer Familie und ihre eigene Freiheit. Die Akademie der Hochmagier ist völlig anders, als sie es sich vorgestellt hat, und Nai wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als zurück an Rage' Seite zu kehren. Doch als dunkle Mächte nicht nur Shifter Island, sondern auch High Mage Island bedrohen, müssen sich die Magier und Gestaltwandler zusammenraufen, um nicht jede Hoffnung auf Frieden zu verlieren. Nai muss sich fragen, wer wirklich auf der Seite des Bösen und des Guten steht - und wem sie vertrauen kann.

Rage hat es geschafft: Nach einem erbitterten Kampf um die Krone ist er nun der rechtmäßige Alphakönig und seine Familie in Sicherheit. Doch kurz darauf verschwindet seine Schicksalsgefährtin Nai spurlos, und alle Zeichen deuten darauf hin, dass sie ins Reich der Hochmagier entführt wurde. High Mage Island ist jedoch verbotenes Land, und für Rage tun sich immer mehr Probleme auf. Zwischen den verstoßenen Wandlern, den Magiern der unteren Klassen und den seltsamen Todesfällen in Dark Row kämpft er mit dem immer weiterwachsenden Druck seiner neuen Position als König.

Nais erste Monate auf der Alpha Academy waren nicht gerade einfach: Ihr Schicksalsgefährte ist aus dem rivalisierenden Clan, Selkie-Angriffe halten die Schule in Atem, und sie entkommt nur knapp einem Mordanschlag. Eins ist klar: Das Leben auf Shifter Island ist schwieriger als gedacht. Als einer von Nais Freunden umgebracht wird, ist sie fest entschlossen, ihn zurückzuholen. Sie macht sich auf nach Dark Row, um den Wächter der Seelen aufzusuchen. Aber die Reise ins Totenreich verläuft ganz anders als geplant.
