bestselling author Holly Black makes her stunning adult debut with Book of Night a modern dark
fantasy of shadowy thieves and secret societies. 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. 'Holly Black is a master of fantasy with the Midas touch -- there is no
story she cannot turn to gold.' V.E. Schwab Sunday Times bestselling author of The Invisible
