Der zweite Teil der Bestsellerreihe "Die Katmere Academy Chroniken" von Tracy Wolff - noch dramatischer, noch spannender, noch intensiver. Als Grace sich in Jaxon Vega verliebte und in seine gefährliche Welt an der Katmere Academy eintauchte, wurde ihr Leben völlig auf den Kopf gestellt: Jaxon ist der Sohn einer mächtigen Vampirfamilie und auch Grace ist nicht, wer sie ihr ganzes Leben zu sein glaubte. Wenn sie überleben will, muss Grace ihre neuen Fähigkeiten schnellstens meistern. Doch ihre Liebe zu Jaxon und das Leben ihrer Freunde sind in Gefahr.

Nach dem Unfalltod ihrer Eltern ist Grace auf sich allein gestellt. Die exklusive Katmere Academy im kalten Alaska, die ihr Onkel leitet, soll ihr neues Zuhause sein. Doch dort geschehen seltsame Dinge. Die Schüler verhalten sich mysteriös, allen voran Jaxon Vega, zu dem Grace sich auf unerklärliche Weise hingezogen fühlt - trotz aller Warnungen ihrer Cousine Macy. Aber Jaxon hat seinen Ruf nicht umsonst: Je näher sie und der unwiderstehliche Bad Boy einander kommen, desto größer wird die Gefahr für Grace. Offensichtlich hat es jemand auf sie abgesehen... Gelesen von Diana Gantner als Grace und Marios Gavrilis als Jaxon.

Das brächte unser gesamtes Ökosystem zum Kippen und die Menschheit an den Rand der Überlebensfähigkeit: Stürme, schmelzende Polkappen, Dürren und Flutkatastrophen werden Städte und Länder bedrohen und damit den Lebensraum von Menschen und Tieren auf sämtlichen Kontinenten. Wie können wir diesen Kipppunkten entgegenwirken?
