Polnočná dáma je podľa mnohých čitateľov to najlepšie, čo Cassandra Clare doposiaľ napísala. Druhý diel série Tajomná temnota – Pán tieňov však dokázal pokoriť aj tento rekord! Mladá tieňolovkyňa Emma Carstairsová pomstila smrť rodičov, no nedokáže nájsť pokoj v duši. Jej priateľstvo s Julianom Blackthornom totiž prerástlo v obojstrannú náklonnosť. No láska medzi parabataimi je zakázaná, lebo ohrozuje životy tieňolovcov. Mohla by od Juliana utiecť, ale Blackthornovcov ohrozujú nepriateľské sily na všetkých frontoch. Len oni totiž dokážu získať prastarú knihu čarov, po ktorej túžia hlavne féri. Na obzore však povstane nový nepriateľ: Pán tieňov – Nesílijský kráľ vyšle svojich najmocnejších bojovníkov, aby zahubili každého, komu prúdi v žilách blackthornovská krv, a získali knihu čarov. Julian objaví jediný spôsob, ako sa zachrániť. Lenže s takou cenou za prežitie nikto nerátal a splatiť ju bude treba krvou.

Sedemnásťročná Emma Carstairsová nikdy nezabudne na deň, keď zomreli jej rodičia. Pred piatimi rokmi bola len bezbranné dievča a svetom zmietala vojna. Bytosti z temnoty dychtili po krviprelievaní a ich zasvätení nepriatelia Tieňolovci boli takmer vyhubení. No Emma stále neverí, že brutálna vražda jej rodičov bola predzvesťou Temnej vojny. Teraz, po piatich rokoch, sa z Emmy stala bojovníčka, Tieňolovkyňa telom i duchom, najlepšia spomedzi svojich rovesníkov. V srdci však prechováva veľké tajomstvo – city k Julianovi Blackthornovi, k jej parabataiovi... city, ktoré prísne pravidlá Tieňolovcov výslovne zakazujú. V Dolnosvete spôsobí rozruch séria tajomných vrážd v Los Angeles. Mŕtve telá však majú niečo spoločné s mŕtvolami Emminých rodičov – ich pokožku zdobia zlovestné prastaré symboly. Emma chce zistiť viac, potrebuje vedieť, kto má na svedomí jej rodičov. Dokonca aj keď tým uvalí do smrteľného nebezpečenstva Juliana. Emma stojí pred ťažkým rozhodnutím - či jej záleží viac na pomste, alebo na budúcnosti s Blackthornovcami.

The finale to the darkly hypnotic Bargainer series! There are worse things than death. Things that lurk in the shadows and slip into your dreams. Things that have no business existing. Things that once slept... but have now awoken. For Callypso Lillis, the fae magic that now runs through her veins is equal parts curse and good fortune. For the very thing that bonds her to Desmond Flynn, the King of the Night, also makes her vulnerable to the Thief of Souls, a man who wants to break the world... and Callie along with it. But it's not just the Thief whose shadow looms over the Otherworld. Des's father is back from the dead, and he wants revenge on the son who sent him to the grave in the first place. Des and Callie must figure out how to stop both men, and time is running out. Because there are forces at play working to tear the lovers apart once and for all... and unfortunately for them, death is no longer the worst thing to fear.
