In modern-day England, witches live alongside humans: White witches, who are good; Black witches, who are evil; and 16-year-old Nathan, who is both. Nathan's father is the world's most powerful and cruel Black witch, and his mother is dead. He is hunted from all sides. Trapped in a cage, beaten and handcuffed, Nathan must escape before his seventeenth birthday, at which point he will receive three gifts from his father and come into his own as a witch - or else he will die. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is tracked, when there is no one safe to trust?

The Alliance is losing. Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of Witches in England. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. But the amulet is not so easily acquired.

Kept in a cage for two years by the Council of Fairborn Witches, Nathan was trained to kill his father, the most violent and feared of the Blood Witches. Now Nathan has escaped, and he dreams of a quiet life of freedom with Annalise, the girl he loves—but Annalise is a prisoner, wasting away in a deathlike sleep. Nathan’s friend, Gabriel, is missing, likely dead, and although Nathan has found his unique magical Gift, he can’t control it. The Council's Hunters are on his trail, so he is always on the run.

Nathan Byrn is running again. The Alliance of Free Witches has been all but destroyed. Scattered and demoralised, constantly pursued by the Council's Hunters, only a bold new strategy can save the rebels from total defeat. They need the missing half of Gabriel's amulet - an ancient artifact with the power to render its bearer invincible in battle. But the amulet's guardian - the reclusive and awesomely powerful witch Ledger - has her own agenda.

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Half Wild, the stunning sequel to Half Bad by Sally Green, read by Carl Prekopp. After finally meeting his elusive father, Marcus, and receiving the three gifts that confirm him as a full adult witch, Nathan is still on the run. He needs to find his friend, Gabriel, and rescue Annalise, now a prisoner of the powerful Black witch Mercury. Most of all he needs to learn how to control his Gift - a strange, wild new power that threatens to overwhelm him.

In a land tinged with magic and a bustling trade in an illicit supernatural substance, destiny will intertwine the fates of five players: a visionary princess determined to forge her own path; an idealistic solider whose heart is at odds with his duty; a streetwise hunter tracking the most dangerous prey; a charming thief with a powerful hidden identity; and a loyal servant on a quest to avenge his kingdom. All are driven by ambition, honor, and desperation on the cusp of war. But who will be left standing when the smoke clears?

A princess. A soldier. A servant. A demon hunter. A thief. When we last saw them, this unlikely group was heading into the Northern Territory of the kingdom of Pitoria, on the run from the sadistic and power-hungry King Aloysius of Brigant. The Smoke Thieves have discovered that demon smoke is not only an illegal drug used for pleasure, but in fact, when taken by children, demon smoke briefly gives its users super-human strength.

In this conclusion to the epic Smoke Thieves trilogy, the world has erupted into all-out war. King Aloysius is mining powerful demon smoke and using it to fuel an unstoppable army of children. March, now banished for treason, has joined up with this boy army. Forbidden from ever seeing Edyon again and overwhelmed by his own betrayal, March no longer cares if he lives or dies.

Noch immer herrscht Krieg, und Ambrose wird von Catherine auf eine lebensgefährliche Mission geschickt. Als die Kämpfe ihren Höhepunkt erreichen, offenbaren die Dämonen ein schreckliches Geheimnis, das den Ausgang des Krieges und die Geschichte der Menschheit für immer verändern kann.

Prinzessin Catherine, Ambrose, Tash, Edyon und March sind der brigantischen Armee nur knapp entkommen und flüchten auf das Nördliche Plateau. Dort suchen die Gefährten Schutz an dem wohl gefährlichsten Ort, den man sich denken kann: in den verborgenen Tunneln der Dämonenwelt! Doch Catherine muss zurückkehren und eine eigene Armee gegen ihren Vater, König Aloysius, aufstellen, um den tobenden Krieg zu beenden. Derweil macht Tash in den Tunneln eine Entdeckung, die alles verändern könnte.

In Brigant bereitet sich Prinzessin Catherine auf eine Vernunftehe vor, obwohl sie sich zu dem jungen Krieger Ambrose hingezogen fühlt. In Calidor sinnt der Diener March auf Rache für sein betrogenes Volk, während in Pitoria Kaufmannssohn Edyon in den Tag lebt und sich die Zeit mit Diebstählen vertreibt. Und in den nördlichen Ebenen riskiert die dreizehnjährige Tash ihr Leben auf der Jagd nach dem wertvollen Dämonenrauch. Durch politischen Intrigen, wechselnden Allianzen und verbotene Liebe sind die Leben dieser jungen Menschen verbunden.

A princess, a traitor, a soldier, a hunter and a thief. Five teenagers with the fate of the world in their hands. Five nations destined for conflict. As alliances shift and shatter and old certainties are overturned, our five heroes find their past lives transformed and their futures inextricably linked by the unpredictable tides of magic and war. Who will rise and who will fall? And who will claim the ultimate prize?

Nathan har langt om laenge mødt sin far, Marcus, og fået de tre gaver, der gør ham til heks. Men han er stadig på flugt fra jaegerne, og han må samtidig prøve at finde sin ven Gabriel og redde Annalise, der bliver holdt fanget af den magtfulde og farlige sorte heks, Mercury. Nathans søgen traekker ham ind i en uhellig alliance mellem sorte og hvide hekse, der sammen forsøger at bekaempe jaegerne, der på brutal vis har taget magten over Rådet for Hvide Hekse.

In Brigant bereitet sich Prinzessin Catherine auf eine Vernunftehe vor, obwohl sie sich zu dem jungen Krieger Ambrose hingezogen fühlt. In Calidor sinnt der Diener March auf Rache für sein betrogenes Volk, während in Pitoria Kaufmannssohn Edyon in den Tag lebt und sich die Zeit mit Diebstählen vertreibt.

Wenn das Böse in dir lauert, bist du dann dazu verdammt? Nathan wird gejagt. Seit seiner frühesten Kindheit wird er von der Regierung beobachtet, verfolgt, eingesperrt. Denn Nathan lebt in einer Welt, in der – mitten im modernen Alltagsleben – Hexen existieren. Weiße Hexen, die sich selbst für gut erachten und die Regierungsmacht in ihren Händen halten. Schwarze Hexen, die gefährlich und skrupellos sind und im Untergrund arbeiten. Und Nathan, der beides ist – denn seine Mutter war eine Weiße und sein Vater Marcus ist der gefürchtetste Schwarze aller Zeiten.
