The Ruins is the story of twin brothers - Adam and Brandon - who haven't spoken for decades, When Brandon is found gunned down just streets from Adam's flat, Brandon's girlfriend enlists Adam to find out what he was doing there and who killed him. Shy, stuttering Adam finds himself caught up in his brother's world of deception, violence, and forgery. As things turn increasingly dark and his entanglements with his brother's family grow, he's faced with a choice of whether to dive deeper into Brandon's world and risk losing himself, or turn his back on his future.

"Die Götter sind Vögel, und die Vögel sind Götter." London, 1601. Shay ist Botenmädchen, Falknerin und Wahrsagerin, die in den Flügen der Vögel die Zukunft zu sehen vermag. Nonesuch ist der Star des sagenumwobenen Blackfriars-Theaters, wo eine Gruppe von Jungen für den Londoner Adel auftritt. Als sie über den Dächern Londons fliehen müssen, weil Shay gefangene Vögel befreit hat, lernen die beiden sich kennen - und verlieben sich. Dann gründen sie gemeinsam das Ghost Theatre, das in den versteckten Winkeln der Stadt phantastische Stücke aufführt.
