- New York Times bestselling author, Alix E.

Harrow #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Blacks stunning adult debut Book of Night , a modern dark fantasy of betrayals, secret societies, and a dissolute thief of shadows, now available in trade paperback.

Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldnt pick, a book she couldnt steal, or a bad decision she wouldnt make.

Shes 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 Hall.

Now, shes trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but getting out isnt easy.

Bartending at a dive, shes still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires.

Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that Charlies shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend, Vince, has been hiding things from her.

When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends into a maelstrom of murder and lies.

Determined to survive, shes 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.
