"Dostaneš mocný dar, ale až podľa toho, ako ho budeš používať sa uvidí, či budeš dobrý, alebo zlý." Vo svete smrteľníkov žijú dva znepriatelené tábory čarodejníkov, čiernych a bielych. O svoje miesto medzi nimi bojuje sedemnásťročný Nathan, všetkými nenávidený pre svoj pôvod. Je nemanželským synom Marcusa, najmocnejšieho a najukrutnejšieho čarodejníka na svete, a jediný, kto ho dokáže poraziť. Nathan získal od otca vzácny dar, magickú schopnosť, ale ak sa ju nenaučí ovládať, vystaví sa veľkému nebezpečenstvu. Za pätami má lovcov a tí sa nezastavia pred ničím. Chcú ho chytiť a donútiť otca zabiť. Hoci je Marcus stelesnením zla, Nathan mu vďačí za život. Nikdy sa proti nemu nepostaví. Lenže ak to neurobí, na svoju lásku Annelise môže zabudnúť. Jej život sa dá zachrániť výmenou za Marcusovo srdce. Nathan sa ocitá v neriešiteľnej situácii.

Half Bad - Polozlý je fantasy príbeh o nezlomnej vôli prežiť. Triler sa odohráva v novodobom Anglicku, kde medzi ľuďmi žijú v utajení čierno - zlí a bielo - dobrí čarodejníci. Obe frakcie rozdeľuje veľká nenávisť a spája jedna jediná vec – strach o chlapca, ktorý pochádza z obidvoch strán. Nathanovi v žilách koluje dvojaká krv. Splodený zo zakázanej lásky medzi bielou čarodejnicou a najkrutejším a najmocnejším čiernym čarodejníkom uniká pred celým svetom. Mal radšej zomrieť pri narodení, ako si to želala rada Bielych čarodejníc. Nechceného polovičiaka čaká krutý osud. Pre večný boj medzi bielymi a čiernymi čarodejnicami bude žiť ako štvaná zver až do svojich sedemnástych narodenín. Vtedy sa rozhodne, na ktorú stranu skutočne patrí. Pod jednou podmienkou.

Nezostáva mu nič iné, len sa pokúsiť o nemožné – nájsť najobávanejšieho čierneho čarodejníka na svete. Ale ako, keď nemôže veriť ani svojej láske?
