In this spellbinding sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Last Magician, Esta and Harte set off on a cross-country chase through time to steal back the elemental stones they need to save the future of magic. Hunt the Stones. Beware the Thief. Avenge the Past. Esta’s parents were murdered. Her life was stolen. And everything she knew about magic was a lie. She thought the Book of Mysteries held the key to freeing the Mageus from the Order’s grasp, but the danger within its pages was greater than she ever imagined. Now the Book’s furious power lives inside Harte. If he can’t control it, it will rip apart the world to get its revenge, and it will use Esta to do it. To bind the power, Esta and Harte must track down four elemental stones scattered across the continent. But the world outside the city is like nothing they expected. There are Mageus beyond the Brink not willing to live in the shadows—and the Order isn’t alone in its mission to crush them. In St. Louis, the extravagant World’s Fair hides the first stone, but an old enemy is out for revenge and a new enemy is emerging. And back in New York, Viola and Jianyu must defeat a traitor in a city on the verge of chaos. As past and future collide, time is running out to rewrite history—even for a time-traveling thief.

Der letzte Magier von Manhattan

El ltimo mago / The Last Magician

Stop de magiër. Steel het boek. Red de toekomst.

De laatste magiër

Na Nova York dos dias atuais, a magia antiga e natural está quase extinta. Os poucos que ainda têm afinidade com ela – os Mageus – vivem nas sombras, escondendo o que são. Além disso, qualquer Mageus que adentre Manhattan é capturado por uma armadilha: a Beira, uma barreira invisível que os deixa permanentemente presos à ilha. Atravessar a fronteira estabelecida pela Beira significa perder os poderes – e, frequentemente, a própria vida. A jovem Esta é uma ladra talentosa e cresceu sendo treinada para roubar artefatos mágicos da Ordem, organização misteriosa criadora da Beira. Esta também tem uma habilidade inata: manipular o tempo. A jovem é capaz de furtar objetos do passado, coletando-os antes mesmo que a Ordem perceba que ela está lá. Mas todo o treinamento de Esta tem sido para uma tarefa maior: viajar até o ano de 1902 para roubar um livro antigo. Acredita-se que o Livro contém todos os segredos da Ordem – e da Beira. A missão de Esta é furtá-lo antes que o Mago o destrua, garantindo assim um futuro melhor a todos os que têm afinidade com magia. Mas a Nova York do início do século XX em que Esta deve mergulhar é perigosa e sem leis, comandada por gangues e sociedades secretas. Um lugar em que é possível sentir magia até no ar que se respira. Nada é o que parece, nem mesmo o Mago. E, para salvar o próprio futuro, Esta deve trair a todos no passado – sem exceção. Best-seller do New York Times, O último dos magos tem como elementos principais a magia, o romance, a aventura e uma generosa porção de surpresas. Uma alquimia ímpar elaborada pela aclamada autora Lisa Maxwell – e esse é só o começo de uma história que já nasce atemporal.

O último dos magos

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Last Magician series comes a heart-wrenching middle grade debut steeped in magical realism about a bird-loving boy who moves to the countryside where he encounters dangerous creatures invading through a rip in the sky. Xavier T. Fletcher is an Odd Duck. At least, that’s what everyone in his sleepy little suburb seems to think. Luckily, birds happen to be the aspiring naturalist’s favorite things, so he doesn’t mind the label quite as much as you might expect. But when Xavier’s father loses his job, everything changes. His family is forced to move to his Nana Susan’s farm. There, he meets Clementine, a strange, messy girl who doesn’t see him as an Odd Duck at all. Too bad she has the unfortunate habit of using her slingshot to hunt the birds he loves. Xavier’s not sure what to think when Clem assures him that they aren’t really birds. He’s even less sure when he discovers that Clem isn’t lying. The bird-like creatures come from the Rend, a tear in the sky between our world and the Nother’s, and the objects they carry in their beaks from that cold, dark place are dangerous. It’s up to Xavier and Clem to find a way to keep the creatures out of our world. But how can he protect the Rend when he suspects Clem hasn’t told him the whole truth about what she’s doing?
