"Award-winning YA author Holly Black has created an imaginary masterpiece yet again with her first foray into adult fantasy, narrated with perfection by Sara Amini." -AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner) In the vein of Erin Morgenstern, #1 NYT bestselling author Holly Blackâs stunning new audiobook is a dark fantasy of betrayals and cabals with a dissolute thief of shadows at the center of it all.
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldnât pick, a book she couldnât steal, or a bad decision she wouldnât 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, sheâs trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but getting out isnât easy. Bartending at a dive, sheâs still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that Charlie's shadowless, and possibly soulless, boyfriend 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, sheâs up against a cast of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the worldâall trying to steal a secret that will give them vast and terrible power
"Dark, strange, thick with mystery and twistsâa story so believable in its magic, you'll be keeping one eye on your shadow as you turn the pages." âLeigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House
âHeart, soul, and a bit of kinkâThe Book of Night is smart, decadent fun.ââKelly Link, Pulitzer Prize Finalist
