Kate Armstrong was an ordinary young woman eager to leave an abusive childhood behind her when she became the first female cadet admitted to the Royal Military College of Canada. As she struggled for survival in the ultimate boys’ club, she called on her fierce and humourous spirit to push back against the whims of a domineering and patriarchal organization. Later in life, feeling unfulfilled in her post-military career, she realized that finding her true path forward meant she had to go back to the beginning and revisit the truth of what she had experienced all those years ago.

Ihr Kuss ist magisch. Ihre Identität ist geheim. Ihre Jäger sind gnadenlos. Magie ist in Simta verboten, deshalb sind die Nightbirds das bestgehütete Geheimnis der Stadt. Tagsübers spielen Matilde, Sayer und Æsa die Töchter aus gutem Hause, nachts geben sie als Nightbirds ihre Magie an zahlende Kunden weiter – mit einem Kuss. Doch dann entgehen sie nur knapp einem Attentat und plötzlich wird ihr glamouröses Leben zum goldenen Käfig.

Lange waren die Nightbirds das bestgehütete Geheimnis von Simta: Über die jungen Frauen, die mit einem Kuss Magie verschenken können, wurde in der Stadt nur hinter vorgehaltener Hand geflüstert. Doch Mathilde, Sayer und Æsa wurden enttarnt – und nun droht in Simta ein Krieg auszubrechen: zwischen den Straßengangs, der Kirche und dem neuen Herrscher, denn jeder will die Magie der Nightbirds für sich. Und die Nightbirds müssen entscheiden, welchen Preis sie für ihre Freiheit zu zahlen bereit sind.
