Synopsis
Charlie Hall is a skilled thief who has spent years working for gloamists—magicians who manipulate shadows to spy, steal, and kill. Though she is trying to distance herself from this corrupt magical underworld by working as a bartender, escaping her past is nearly impossible. When a dangerous figure from her history resurfaces, Charlie is dragged back into a web of murder, secrets, and doppelgängers. To survive, she must outmaneuver ruthless magicians and protect the people she loves from a conspiracy to control the shadow world.
