Book Of Night

Beskrivelse

Holly Black, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, makes her adult debut with Book of Night, a dark fantasy filled with shadowy thieves and secret societies. Follow Charlie Hall, a skilled lockpicker and book thief, as she navigates a dangerous world of magic and betrayal.

A thrilling tale of shadow magic, secrets, and survival in a hidden world of gloamists.

Charlie Hall has a talent for breaking into places others can't and stealing books no one else can get their hands on. For years, she’s worked for gloamists-magicians who control shadows to spy, strangle, or worse. These magicians fiercely protect their secrets, fueling an underground trade in powerful grimoires. To outwit these dangerous players, they rely on Charlie’s unique skills.

Trying to leave her troubled past behind, Charlie now works as a bartender in a rundown bar, but the dark underworld of the Berkshires is never far away. Her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and her mysterious, shadowless boyfriend hides secrets of his own.

When a haunting figure from her past resurfaces, Charlie is pulled back into a whirlwind of murder and deception. She must confront doppelgangers, unpredictable billionaires, merciless gloamists, and even those she loves-all battling to seize a secret that could grant control over the shadow realm and beyond.
