Die meeste mense slaap Saterdae laat, maar nie Zander nie. Hy sit al weer saam met sy ouers langs die rugbyveld om te kyk hoe sy broer hul pa se sportdrome uitleef.

Zander se belangstellings beïndruk sy ouers nie veel nie. Hy hou van rekenaarspeletjies, lees en draf. Vir hom is draf ’n bietjie soos lees. Wanneer hy sy tekkies vasmaak en sy oorfone in sy ore druk, verdwyn die wêreld rondom hom. Totdat een van die mooiste meisies in die skool hom op ’n dag sien hardloop … Roxy is vasbeslote om Zander sover te kry om landloop te hardloop, en in die proses word sy lewe op sy kop gekeer – in meer as een opsig.

Zander se beste vriend verstaan nie sy nuwe obessie met hardloop nie en wil net oor die Cyber Clash-rekenaarspeletjiekompetisie praat. Daarby is Zander se gevoelens vir Roxy ook definitief nie platonies nie, en asof dit nie genoeg is nie, is sy eerste landloopkompetisie op dieselfde dag as sy broer se debuutwedstryd vir die eerste rugbyspan.

In a world invaded by demons, one girl will face the ultimate test when she is forced to enter into an ancient, deadly competition for the chance to save her mother's soul… before she loses her forever. From the New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night comes the beginning of a dark and opulent fantasy duology, perfect for fans of Throne of Glass.

Nine years ago, the war between the Kingdom of Night and the Kingdom of Rivers tore Àn’yīng’s family apart, leaving her mother barely alive and a baby sister to fend for. Now the mortal realm is falling into eternal night, and mó—beautiful, ravenous demons—roam the land, feasting on the flesh of humans and drinking their souls.

Àn’yīng is no longer a helpless child, though. Armed with her crescent blades and trained in the ancient art of practitioning, she has decided to enter the Immortality Trials, which are open to any mortal who can survive the journey to the immortal realm. Those who complete the Trials are granted a pill of eternal life—the one thing Àn’yīng knows can heal her dying mother. But to attain the prize, she must survive the competition.

Death is common in the Trials. Yet oddly, Àn’yīng finds that someone is helping her stay alive. A rival contestant. Powerful and handsome, Yù’chén is as secretive about his past as he is about his motives for protecting Àn’yīng.

The longer she survives the Trials, the clearer it becomes that all is not right in the immortal realm. To save her mother and herself, Àn’yīng will need to figure out whether she can truly trust the stranger she’s falling for or if he’s the most dangerous player of all . . . for herself and for all the realms.
