Christina Dodd - Storm of Shadows
Inhaltsangabe des Verlags:
"Brilliant but predictable and proper Rosamund Hill has lived her life buried in universities and libraries, discounting the legend of the Chosen as a myth. Until Aaron Eagle shows up at her door. Aaron both unsettles and enthralls her. But she can't resist his irresistible offers of clandestine visits to private museums, the hunt for a mysterious prophecy, or a makeover that unleashes her untamed soul. With the promise of a love that will defy fate itself, Rosamund is forced to confront the truth about the Chosen — and the man who sweeps her into a dangerous world of dark secrets."
Eine neue Serie von der Autorin, in deren Verlauf man gleich einen Darsteller aus the series "Chosen Darkness" meets again, that Firebird and Doug's son, Aleksandr. However, the novel about 20 years later and played the Wilders have at least so far, no further effect on the action.
There are the so-called Chosen Ones and the Others. Both are children who were not wanted by their parents and were given away. Often they were thrown away to die. They died not, and got a special gift and a tattoo, what they highlighted. The Chosen Ones are definitely the good guys in history, the Others follow the devil and try everything to destroy the Chosen Ones, thus altering the balance of power in the world.
one of these attempts fall the previous Chosen Ones (which are always chosen for only seven years) to the victim so that a father's friend sees itself compelled to find new Chosen. He finds only six chosen ones and they are still young and untrained, so that in the struggle against the overwhelming Others have little chance. But there should be a prophecy that will help them, Dr. Rosamund Hall to see this prophecy for them.
your page is provided Aaron Eagle, a Chosen One who is fascinated from the very beginning of the books of gray mouse, and so accompanied them on an adventurous journey from New York to Casablanca and Paris.
The story is similar to the Chosen Darkness. Here again there are the heroes of a search and tests in order to triumph over evil. But unlike the previous series here, no family is central, but a diverse group of people who become friends. There are a lot of humor and charm in the book, but the main and supporting characters remain strangely pale and expressionless. I think there is hardly any show I've ever read where I was not interested in the history of at least one series of subscriber. The Chosen Ones contrast only has boring characters, whose story I would not know. Too bad.
rating:
1 point for the plot, which admittedly is quite interesting.
1 point for a sympathetic actor who unfortunately died immediately.
one point, that a savage emerges in this way and I still learn something from the other Wilders.
3 of 10 points
