Ein tödliches Labyrinth. Eine Heldin ohne Erinnerung. Und ein verführerisches Monster.Als ich die Augen aufschlage, weiß ich nicht, wo ich bin. Nur dass ich auf einem Bett aus Moos auf einem schwarzen, spiegelglatten Boden liege. Ich weiß auch nicht, wer ich bin. Nur dass Macht unter meiner Haut vibriert. Noch bevor ich mich irgendwie orientieren kann, bekomme ich Gesellschaft. Ein Daemon namens Daesra, halb Mensch, halb Monster. Ebenso gefährlich wie verführerisch. Er kennt mich - und er hasst mich. Er verrät mir, dass mein Name Sadaré ist, dass ich eine mächtige Hexe bin und dass wir uns am Eingang eines Labyrinths befinden. Es ist eine Prüfung der Götter. Daesra soll mich durch diesen tödlichen Ort führen. Doch wie soll ich einem Mann vertrauen, der mich verabscheut? Vor allem wenn ich nicht mal weiß, was ich ihm angetan habe ...
