书籍简介

这是一部惊心动魄、引人入胜的全新系列，由处女作作家杰西卡·汤森德创作，讲述了一个被诅咒的女孩逃脱死亡，置身于一个魔法世界的故事——但她随后却遭遇了超乎想象的考验。

莫里根·克劳被诅咒了。她出生在黄昏，这是所有孩子出生以来不吉利的日子，因此她被归咎于当地所有不幸的根源，从冰雹到心脏病——糟糕的是，诅咒意味着莫里根注定会在她十一岁生日的午夜死去。

就在莫里根等待命运安排时，一个名叫朱庇特·诺斯的古怪而非凡的男人出现了。在黑烟猎犬和骑马的暗影猎人的追捕下，他把莫里根带到了一个名为“永无乡”的秘密魔法城市，一个安全的避难所。

就在那时，莫里根发现朱庇特选中了她，让她角逐城中负盛名的组织——“奇幻协会”的一席之地。为了加入魔法阵，她必须参加四场艰难而危险的考验，与数百名其他孩子竞争，每个孩子都拥有非凡的天赋——而莫里根坚称自己并不具备这种天赋。为了永远留在永无乡的安全之地，莫里根必须找到通过考验的方法——否则她将不得不离开这座城市，面对致命的命运。

这部节奏明快、充满想象力的世界，以全新的视角诠释魔法，必将吸引新一代读者，是哈利·波特系列和尼尔·盖曼粉丝的理想之选。

“哈利·波特式的冒险。”——《时代》杂志

A breathtaking, enchanting new series by debut author Jessica Townsend, about a cursed girl who escapes death and finds herself in a magical world--but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.

But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each with an extraordinary talent that sets them apart--an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests--or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.

Perfect for fans of the Harry Potter series and Neil Gaiman, this fast-paced plot and imaginative world has a fresh new take on magic that will appeal to a new generation of readers.
