Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Golden Tower by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare, read by Paul Boehmer.
A generation ago, powerful mage Constantine Madden came close to achieving what no magician had ever achieved: the ability to bring back the dead. He didn't succeed . . . but he did find a way to keep himself alive, inside a young child named Callum Hunt.
Facing up to what he is, Callum has battled chaos and evil across four years of magical training at the Magisterium, eventually defeating the armies of chaos in an epic battle.
It came at a cost.
Now, triumphant and heartbroken, Callum Hunt has just about had enough, and is ready to complete his training. But the evil Callum faced has not given up just yet . . .
Callum Hunt's summer break isn't like other kids'. His closest companion is a Chaos-ridden wolf, Havoc. His father suspects him of being secretly evil. And, of course, most kids aren't heading back to school in the magical world of the Magisterium . . .
It's not easy for Call . . . and it gets even harder after he checks out his basement and discovers that his dad might be trying to destroy both him and Havoc.
Call escapes to the Magisterium but things only intensify there. The Alkahest - a copper gauntlet capable of separating certain magicians from their magic - has been stolen. And in their search to discover the culprit, Call and his friends awaken the attention of some very dangerous foes - and get closer to an even more dangerous truth.
As the mysteries of the Magisterium deepen and widen, bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare take readers on an extraordinary journey through one boy's conflict -and a whole world's fate.
Band 2 der Magisterium-Serie von Cassandra Clare und Holly Black. Callum hat am Ende des ersten Schuljahrs die erste Pforte durchschritten: Nun kann ihm niemand mehr seine Zauberkräfte nehmen. Das zweite Schuljahr steht an, doch schon wieder liegt das größte Abenteuer für Call außerhalb des Magisteriums. Er muss herausfinden, welche Rolle sein Vater Alastair bei all dem gespielt hat, was kurz nach Calls Geburt beim Eismassaker passiert ist. Kann es sein, dass Alastair ein Verbündeter des Feindes ist? Was bedeutet das für Callum? Und wem kann er jetzt überhaupt noch vertrauen?
Geschlagen mit einem lahmen Bein und einer scharfen Zunge ist der zwölfjährige Callum Hunt nicht gerade der beliebteste Junge auf dem Planeten. Doch das ist erst mal sein geringstes Problem. Denn just in diesem Moment befindet er sich auf dem Weg ins Magisterium, der unterirdischen Schule für Zauberei. Ein dunkler und geheimnisvoller Ort. Dort soll er bei Master Rufus, dem mächtigsten Magier der Schule, in die Lehre gehen. Doch alles was Call über ihn und das Magisterium weiß, lässt ihn befürchten, das erste Schuljahr nicht lebend zu überstehen.
