Synopsis
Morrigan es una niña ocurrente y carismática con unos horribles padres que no le hacen ningún caso. Aunque eso no es lo peor, porque arrastra una maldición que la condena a morir antes de cumplir los once años. Pero eso no va a ocurrir puesto que en la vigilia de su décimo primer cumpleaños alguien la secuestra y se la lleva a Nevermoor (un Londres paralelo), donde deberá superar cuatro pruebas si quiere estar entre los elegidos. El problema es que ya no podrá regresar jamás ya que sólo escapa a la muerte si se queda en Nevernoor. ¿Crees en la magia? ¡Bienvenido a Nevermoor!.
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 boasting 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.
