In the perilous heart of Scion London, a dangerous and valuable poltergeist is on the loose – and it must be caught before chaos erupts on the streets of the capital. Here, the clairvoyant underworld plays by its own rules, and rival gangs will stop at nothing to win such a magnificent prize.

The stunning fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series reaches new corners of Samantha Shannon's richly imagined world. Paige Mahoney has eluded death again. Snatched from the jaws of captivity and sent to a safe house in the Scion Citadel of Paris, she finds herself caught between factions that seek Scion's downfall and those who would kill to protect the puppet empire. The mysterious Domino Program has plans for Paige, but she has ambitions of her own in this new citadel. With Arcturus at her side, she embarks on an adventure that will lead her from the catacombs of Paris to the glittering hallways of Versailles. As Scion widens its bounds and the free world trembles in its shadow, Paige strives to understand her bond with Arcturus, which grows stronger by the day. But there are those who know the revolution began with them-and could end with them . . . With its intricate worldbuilding, slow burn romance, and “complex, ever evolving, scrappy yet touching” (NPR) heroine, the Bone Season series shows Samantha Shannon at the height of her considerable powers.
Příběh začíná v roce 2059. Devatenáctiletá Paige Mahoneyová pracuje v londýnském kriminálním podsvětí, kde působí jako jakási „spojka“ či „posel“ — je krajinochodec, zvláštní typ jasnovidce, a díky svým schopnostem se dokáže vnořit do mysli druhých lidí. Žije v represivním režimu Scion, kde páchá velezradu už jen tím, že dýchá. Jednoho dne se její život navždy změní. Je přepadena, unesena a převezena do někdejšího Oxfordu, města, které před dvěma sty lety zmizelo z map. Tam je Paige vydána na milost a nemilost Strážci, nejkrásnější, ale zároveň nejděsivější bytosti, jakou kdy potkala…
Udělali z nás zloděje. Je načase ukrást, co nám patří. Paige Mahoneyové se podařilo utéct ze šeolského zajetí, ale tím všechno teprve začíná: mnoho přeživších uprchlíků je nezvěstných a ona se stala nejhledanější osobou v Londýně. Scion upřel na Bledého snílka své vševidoucí oko; vidopáni a vidopaní městských gangů dostanou pozvání na vzácné setkání Sněmu nepřirozených. Jaxon Hall a jeho gang Sedm pečetí jsou připraveni získat pozornost, ale vztahy mezi jasnovidci kazí staré nevyřízené účty a za každým rohem číhají temná tajemství. Pak se začnou ze stínů vynořovat Refájci. Ale kde je Strážce? Paige se musí z doupěte u Sedmi ciferníků dostat do spisovatelské čtvrti Grub Street a proniknout do tajných camdenských katakomb, dřív než bude osud londýnského podsvětí zpečetěn. Vidořád je druhou knihou z plánované sedmidílné série. První díl Kostičas hned po vydání obsadil přední příčky žebříčku bestsellerů The New York Times, byl přeložen do osmadvaceti jazyků a připravuje se jeho zfilmování.

As Paige rallies her army of criminals, she continues to meet in secret with her former enemy, Arcturus Mesarthim. Should they be discovered, the fragile alliance with the Ranthen will fail. But all bets are off when Scion introduces Senshield, a deadly technology that spells doom for clairvoyants. Now Paige must race against the clock to stop her reign from ending in blood.
