Once upon a time the great Faeran high king Angavar became trapped in mortal Erith along with his twin brother - and nemesis - Morragan ''the Raven Prince'' when the gate to the Faeran Realm was closed on them. Now many centuries later the fugitive who calls herself Tahquil has at last discovered the truth. She is being hunted down by the Raven Prince because she alone can reopen the gate to the Fair Realm so Morragan plans to use her for his escape from exile. However Tahquil''s mind is still clouded by a potent spell called the Bitterbynde and she is also dying from a mystical wasting disease. The cure and the final answers to the mystery of her past can only be found in Evernight - at the fortress of the Raven Prince himself. Though Tahquil has already survived deadly trials of goblins spriggans pixies and haunts nothing can prepare her for the horror that is Evernight. Here magic rules the sun is banished -- and the Raven Prince''s whims shape the very nature of existence. As Morragan''s wights and Angavar''s knights become locked in a battle that could engulf all of Erith Tahquil''s quest for the truth finally hinges on a desperate choice. If she opens the Gate will she thereby save two worlds -- or instead destroy everything she holds dear? . Language: English
