Summary

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Born on Eventide, the unlukiest day for any child to be born, Morrigan is blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse dooms her to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor. It's in Nevermoor that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to content for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, and to stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children - or she'll have to leave the city and confront her deadly fate.
