In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Karou must come to terms with who and what she is, and how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas.

Two worlds threaten to crumble in the face of a common enemy in the epic conclusion to the New York Times best-selling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy—now with a gorgeous new package! What power can bruise the sky? 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.

In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice—save the woman he loves, or everyone else?—while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color.

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old, he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.

Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her "rabid fairy," her "voodoo eyes" are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or "Violin Boy," her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It's a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter's night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself!

A girl who’s always been in the shadows finds herself pursued by the unbelievably attractive new boy at school, who may or may not be the death of her.

Sarai ist die Muse der Albträume. Seit sie denken kann, quält sie die Bewohner von Weep mit ihren schlimmsten Ängsten. Sie ist sich sicher, dass sie jede noch so furchtbare Grausamkeit gesehen hat. Doch damit liegt sie falsch. Unendlich falsch. Denn plötzlich findet sich Sarai selbst in einem Albtraum wieder, aus dem sie nicht aufwachen kann. Ihre Liebe, ihr Leben und das aller Bewohner von Weep stehen auf dem Spiel.

Folge weiter der Geschichte von Lazlo und Sarai in der Verborgenen Stadt Weep Sagenumwoben, voller Schönheit, Wunder und Mysterien - so hat Lazlo sich die Verborgene Stadt, über die er so viel gelesen hat, immer vorgestellt. Doch Weep hütet ein düsteres Geheimnis, dem Lazlo und seine Gefährten auf den Grund gehen sollen. Welche Rolle spielt dabei Sarai, das blauhäutige Mädchen, welches ihm immer wieder in seinen Träumen begegnet? Nacht für Nacht treffen sich die beiden, und Lazlo spürt, wie das Band zwischen ihnen immer stärker wird.

Lazlo Strange liebt es, Geheimnisse zu ergründen und Abenteuer zu erleben. Allerdings nur zwischen den Seiten seiner Bücher, denn ansonsten erlebt der junge Bibliothekar nur wenig Aufregendes. Er ist ein Träumer und schwelgt am liebsten in den Geschichten um die sagenumwobene Stadt Weep - ein mysteriöser Ort, um den sich zahlreiche Geheimnisse ranken. Eines Tages werden Freiwillige für eine Reise nach Weep gesucht, und für Lazlo steht sofort fest, dass er sich der Gruppe anschließen muss. Ohne zu wissen, was sie in der verborgenen Stadt erwartet, machen sie sich auf den Weg.

El sueño elige al soñador, y no al revés, y Lazlo Strange, huérfano de guerra y aprendiz de bibliotecario, ha temido siempre que su sueño eligiera mal. Desde los cinco años ha estado obsesionado con la mítica ciudad perdida de Weep, pero sería preciso alguien más audaz y valiente que él para cruzar medio mundo en su busca. Entonces se le presenta una asombrosa oportunidad en la persona de un héroe llamado Godslayer y una pandilla de legendarios guerreros, así que Lazlo ha de aprovechar su oportunidad o perderá su sueño para siempre.

Sus pesadillas eran tan vívidas que casi podía respirarlas. Ningún horror escapaba a su experiencia, ya nada la sorprendía, pero... cuán equivocada estaba. En el despertar de la tragedia, ni Lazlo ni Sarai son quienes solían ser. Uno, deidad; el otro, fantasma: ambos luchan por comprender el alcance de los límites propios de su condición, que antes desconocían, pues la mente oscura de Minya los mantiene rehenes, en su intento de venganza contra Weep.

Gerade noch war Lazlo der unscheinbare Bibliothekar aus Zosma, der von der vergessenen Stadt Weep träumte. Jetzt hängen die Hoffnungen all ihrer Bewohner an ihm, und Lazlo steht vor einer unmöglichen Entscheidung: Entweder er rettet die Liebe seines Lebens - oder Weep. Sein Gegner ist unberechenbar, und ohne die Hilfe von Sarai kann er ihn nicht bezwingen. Doch ist ihre Liebe stark genug, um alle Hindernisse zu überwinden und Weep endlich zu befreien?

Os dois mundos – Eretz e a Terra – se veem ameaçados pelo cruel imperador dos serafins, mas novas forças surgem de onde menos se espera. Quimeras e serafins estão unidos para deter o inimigo maior. E sob a liderança de Karou e Akiva, o exército de Ilegítimos luta lado a lado com as feras para deter Jael e construir um mundo de paz. É uma versão distorcida do tão antigo sonho dos dois, uma esperança de futuro para seus povos. E, talvez, para o amor que eles sentem renascer.
