Book synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black makes her stunning adult debut with Book of Night, a modern dark fantasy of betrayals, cabals, and a dissolute thief of shadows, in the vein of Neil Gaiman and Erin Morgenstern.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 Hall.Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but getting out isn't easy. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires.

When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends into a maelstrom of murder and lies.Determined 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"Dark, strange, thick with mystery and twists-a story so believable in its magic, you'll be keeping one eye on your shadow as you turn the pages." - Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House"If Neil Gaiman channeled Stephen King, the result might be this book . . . scintillating prose, whiplash twists, and a voice of character that demands to be heard from again." - James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Starless Crown"Heart, soul, and a bit of kink-The Book of Night is smart, decadent fun."- Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize Finalist"A dark romp full of danger and shadows with a razor sharp heroine and vivid magic." - Zoraida Córdova, Nationally bestselling author of The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina "A deliciously clever page-turner." -Paolo Bacigalupi, New York Times Bestselling author of The Water Knife"Book of Night delivers hot sex, a breathless plot, perfect characters, and some of the most gorgeous writing I've read in years, sharp as a razor blade, clear as a one-way glass." - Ellen Kushner, award-winning author of Swordspoint"A delicious, dark, adrenaline rush of a book.
