"Desde hace siglos, la familia Everly ha sido testigo de la desaparición de sus miembros más hábiles y talentosos, víctimas de un castigo por un crimen que ya nadie recuerda y con un objetivo que nadie comprende. Su torturadora es una mujer llamada Penelope, que no envejece ni enferma... ni perdona ninguna deuda. Hace diez años, la madre de Violet Everly se marchó para romper la maldición y no regresó jamás. Ahora Violet debe encontrar a su madre, o tendrá que ocupar su lugar. Su búsqueda la conduce hasta un mundo oculto, mágico y seductor repleto de académicos hambrientos de poder, dioses volubles y monstruos empecinados en obtener venganza. Por el camino, conocerá a Aleksander, el silencioso ayudante de Penelope, en quien sabe que no debería confiar, y por quien siente una atracción innegable. Violet viajará contrarreloj hasta los confines del mundo para encontrar a su madre y, con ella, la llave que conduce a la ciudad del polvo de estrellas, donde comenzó la historia de los Everly." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Traducido de la edición en inglés de 2024. Contiene lenguaje ofensivo y algunas descripciones de violencia y de índole sexual.

"For centuries, the Everlys have seen their best and brightest disappear, taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Their tormentor, a woman named Penelope, never ages, never grows sick - and never forgives a debt. Violet Everly was a child when her mother left on a stormy night, determined to break the curse. When Marianne never returns, Penelope issues an ultimatum: Violet has ten years to find her mother, or she will take her place. Violet is the last of the Everly line, the last to suffer. Unless she can break the curse first. Her hunt leads her into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods and monsters bent on revenge. And into the path of Penelope's quiet assistant, Aleksander, who she knows cannot be trusted - and yet to whom she finds herself undeniably drawn. With her time running out, Violet will travel the edges of the world to find Marianne and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly story began." -- Provided by publisher. -- Strong language, some violence and some descriptions of sex.
