Having struck a deal with the criminal syndicate “Burning Lily,” the Scarab clan became an even more formidable force—its influence spread throughout the Magnolia Bay. Trying to stop the advance at any cost, Cari makes a gamble: she goes into deadly dangerous territory to ask the Claw clan for support—former allies of the Scarab clan. But the war outside is only a faint echo of the one raging within her. A mysterious fog stole from Cari’s memory the face of the one person dearer to her than anyone else. His disappearance became a wound that never healed and an emptiness nothing—not even the noise of battles—could fill. An unclear, ghostly feeling remains both her guiding star and her curse.
And to bring her beloved back to the light, Cari will have to step toward the darkness and trust it… “Love, Bitter and Sweet”—the second and final book of the debut fantasy duology “Magnolia Bay” by Austrian author K. F. Schröder.
