Autor Dianne K. Salernien Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2015 – vârsta până la 12 ani
After an all-out battle in Mexico, Jax, Riley, and Evangeline have gone into hiding. There are still rogue Transitioners and evil Kin lords on the hunt for Riley, a descendant of King Arthur, and Evangeline, a powerful wizard with bloodlines to Merlin, in order to gain control over the Eighth Day.
So when Finn Ambrose, a mysterious stranger, contacts Jax claiming to be his uncle, Jax's defenses go up—especially after Jax learns that he's holding Jax's best friend, Billy, hostage. To rescue Billy and keep Riley and Evangeline out of the fray, Jax sneaks off to New York City on his own. But once there, he discovers a surprising truth: Finnishis uncle, and Jax comes from a long line of Dulacs—a notoriously corrupt and dangerous Transitioner clan who want Riley dead and Evangeline as their prisoner. And family or not, the Dulacs will stop at nothing to get what they want.

After returning from an all-out war in Mexico, Jax Aubrey, his guardian, Riley, and liege lady, Evangeline Emrys, are in hiding. So when a man named Finn Ambrose tracks them down, claiming to be Jax's uncle, their defenses go up.
As it turns out, Uncle Finn is part of the Dulacs, a dangerous enemy clan. After the Dulacs kidnap Jax's best friend, Billy, in order to lure Jax to their residence in Manhattan, Jax has no choice but to go to the city on his own or risk endangering Riley and Evangeline.
There, he meets Uncle Finn; his cousin, Dorian; and the rest of his crooked relatives—plus he inadvertently stumbles upon a maze of magic tunnels beneath their apartment building. And what Jax finds there could put the entire Eighth Dayandthe Emrys bloodline in jeopardy.

Recenzii
“Combining
modern
intrigue
and
ancient
magic,
this
second
volume
in
what
continues
to
be
an
inspired
series
does
not
disappoint.
Jax
is
an
endearing
mix
of
heroic
and
awkward
as
he
struggles
with
his
new
identity.
An
exciting
blend
of
Arthurian
legend
and
organized
crime.”
