Ransom Riggs: Sunderworld, Vol. 2: The Unfortunate Responsibilities of Leopold Berry, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The bestselling Sunderworld saga reaches its epic conclusion in this thrilling fantasy from Ransom Riggs, author of the #1 global phenomenon Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.
The magic was failing. The monsters were coming. Sunder was desperate for a hero, and Leopold Berry was certain he'd been chosen to save it.

He was wrong.

After flunking his channeler test in spectacular fashion and getting kicked out of Sunder in record time, Leopold swore he was done with magic for good---until a trail of clues from his late mother dragged him back in, then led him to a mysterious ring that might just be the most powerful object in magical history. If only he can figure out how the damn thing works.

Now the walls are closing in.

Famous in Sunder for all the wrong reasons, Leopold is being stalked by paparazzi, threatened by government agents determined to get their hands on the ring, and hunted by terrifying creatures hungry for its power. His only hope is to learn to wield the ring before someone kills him for it and then use it to uncover his family's buried connection to Sunder before the trail goes cold---and the magical world collapses around him.

Because the magic is still failing. The monsters are everywhere. And Sunder still needs a hero.

With loyal friends Emmet and Isabel at his side, Leopold must decide who he can trust in a city built on illusion---and whether the kid who was never chosen is willing to risk everything for the world that didn't want him.

Welcome back to Sunderworld.
