Description
Charlie Hall nunca encontró una cerradura que no pudiera forzar, un libro que no pudiera robar o una mala decisión que no tomaría. Ha pasado la mitad de su vida trabajando para gloamists, magos que manipulan las sombras para mirar en habitaciones cerradas, estrangulan a la gente en sus camas o algo peor. Los gloamistas guardan sus secretos con avidez, creando una economía clandestina de grimorios. Y para robar a sus compañeros magos, necesitan a Charlie. Ahora, ella está tratando de distanciarse de los errores del pasado, pero enderezar no es fácil. Como camarera en un antro, todavía está demasiado cerca de la parte más vulnerable y corrupta de los Berkshires. Sin mencionar que su hermana Posey está desesperada por la magia, y que su novio sin sombras y posiblemente sin alma le ha estado ocultando secretos. Cuando regresa una terrible figura de su pasado, Charlie vuelve a caer en una vorágine de asesinatos y mentiras. Decidida a sobrevivir, se enfrenta a un elenco de doppelgängers, multimillonarios mercuriales, gloamists y las personas que más ama en el mundo, todos tratando de robar un secreto que les permitirá controlar el mundo de las sombras y más.
Description
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn't pick, a book she couldn't steal, or a bad decision she wouldn't make. 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. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie. Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn't easy. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that her shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend has been keeping secrets from her. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends back into a maelstrom of murder and lies. Determined to survive, she's up against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world - all trying to steal a secret that will allow them control of the shadow world and more.
