地獄反轉 下

Alex Stern #2, Part 2

by Leigh Bardugo, 莉·巴度格, 康學慧 (Translator)

亞麗絲・史坦，生長於洛杉磯的貧困地區，從小就能看見「另一邊」的世界。在一場殘忍的大屠殺倖存後，意外得到改頭換面的機會，條件是必須加入「忘川會」，監督耶魯大學八大社團的魔法儀式。然而，學長達令頓遭人陷害而墜入地獄，成為惡魔的囚徒。

即使可能失去一切，亞麗絲和忘川會的盟友仍堅決奪回達令頓的靈魂。他們不惜與耶魯為敵，也要解開一道又一道複雜的謎題，打開禁忌的地獄之門。不料計畫接連遭到破壞，亞麗絲也意外發現八大社團埋藏最深的秘密。惡魔更是悄悄來到人間，伺機吞噬他們的靈魂。

此時耶魯校園發生離奇命案，一個教授變成乾枯的屍體，另一個被扭斷脖子，案發現場都留下聖經句子。凶手究竟是誰？亞麗絲和惡魔的角力，最終誰會獲勝？被困於地獄的達令頓，是否已成為非人的怪物？要生存下去，就必須直視過去的黑暗……

「這才是魔法的真面目──卑劣、墮落、變態。」有別於浪漫多彩、純然架空的奇幻世界，莉．巴度格在真實的美國上空，覆上一層魔法面紗。當人性、背叛、貪婪、權力與魔法共存時，亞麗絲與背景各異的角色們該如何貫徹心中的正義、做出「對」的抉擇？
