Book of Night

When a figure from her past returns, a Gloamist's employee's life is thrown into chaos and she's forced to navigate a world of secrets, murder, and lies to survive. She's pitted against doppelgängers, billionaires, shadow thieves, and even her own sister, all of whom are desperate to control the magic of the shadows.

Charlie Hall is a reformed con artist working as a bartender in a world where shadows can be manipulated for magic, power, and influence. She is drawn back into a dangerous underworld of shadow-trading and secret societies when a figure from her past resurfaces, threatening her attempt at a normal life. As Charlie searches for a powerful ancient book, she must navigate a web of lies and protect her loved ones from those who would kill for ultimate control over shadows.

Charlie is a low-level con artist trying to distance herself from the powerful and dangerous underground world of shadow trading. But when a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie’s present life is thrown into chaos, and her future seems at best, unclear — and at worst, non-existent.
