Krátky popis
The Godfather meets The Magicians in the sweeping adult debut from
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu. Perfect for fans
of V.E. Schwab, Red City is a dark and deadly contemporary fantasy
of magical warfare, star-crossed ambition, and the pursuit of
perfection at any cost, set in a glittering alternate Los
Angeles.Alchemy is the hidden art of transformation. An exclusive
power wielded by crime syndicates that market it to the world's
elites in the form of sand, a drug that enhances those who take it
into a more perfect version of themselves: more beautiful, more
charismatic, simply more.Among the gleaming skyscrapers and rolling
foothills of Angel City, alchemy is controlled by two rival
syndicates.For years, Grand Central and Lumines have been balanced
on a razor's edge between polite negotiation and outright violence.
But when two childhood friends step into that delicate equation,
the city - and the paths of their lives - will be irrevocably
transformed.The daughter of a poor single mother, Sam would do
anything to claw her way into the ranks of Grand Central in search
of a better life. Plucked away from his family as a boy to become a
Lumines apprentice, Ari is one of the syndicates' brightest rising
stars.Once, they might have loved each other. But as the two
alchemists face off across opposite sides of an ever-escalating
conflict, ambition becomes power, loyalty becomes lies, and no
transformation may be perfect enough for them both to survive the
coming war.Praise for Marie Lu'Marie Lu always delivers'- Leigh
Bardugo, author of Ninth House and Six of Crows'Marie Lu is magic'-
