BANGMANSKLOOF IS ’N BANGMAAKPLEK …

Louw Erasmus word een oggend deurmekaar wakker. Alles in sy lewe voel vreemd, insluitend sy ouers. Hoewel alles normaal lyk in hul weelderige huis in Bangmanskloof, voel hy dat iets verkeerd is.

Daar is gapings in sy geheue, en sy lewe voel soos ’n vervolgverhaal met ontbrekende hoofstukke. Hy voel amper soos ’n gevangene in die groot, koue huis. Hy het ’n merk om sy nek, en die verhaal van hoe hy dit gekry het, is net die eerste van vele skokke.

Raaisels, geheime, en gevare. Wat is werklik aan die gang?

Met Breinlabirint het die bekroonde François Bloemhof ’n nuwe soort boek geskep – een wat in die vorm van ’n vervolgverhaal aangebied word. Hierdie storie sal beide avontuurlustige en trae lesers op meer as een manier betrek. Dit is ’n boek wat op ’n nuwe manier geskryf en gelees moet word!

The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.

But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.

But the investigation turns personal when Io's estranged oldest sister turns up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players—before destruction comes to her own doorstep.
