When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends into a maelstrom of murder and lies.ĭetermined to survive, she’s up against a cast of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world-all trying to steal a secret that will give them vast and terrible power Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that Charlie's shadowless, and possibly soulless, boyfriend has been hiding things from her. Bartending at a dive, she’s still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Now, she’s trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but getting out isn’t easy. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.
Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. In the vein of Neil Gaiman and Erin Morgenstern, #1 NYT bestselling author Holly Black’s stunning new audiobook is a dark fantasy of betrayals and cabals with a dissolute thief of shadows at the center of it all.Ĭharlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make. "Award-winning YA author Holly Black has created an imaginary masterpiece yet again with her first foray into adult fantasy, narrated with perfection by Sara Amini." - AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)
