Everything can be stolen. Even your shadow...

For Charlie Hall, there is no lock that she cannot pick. A book that I couldn't steal. And she's a real pro when it comes to making bad decisions.

Charlie spent half her life working for the Twilighters, magicians who use shadows to enter locked rooms, attack people, and even do something worse. The Twilighters jealously guard their secrets, organizing an entire underground network for trading magical artifacts. But to get the incredibly valuable Book of Night, they need Charlie. The best swindler in all of America.

Charlie is now living a new life. However, it is not so easy to break with the dark world of illegal magic. Not to mention, her sister, Posey, is desperate to gain magical powers, and her boyfriend Vince, apparently without a soul or a shadow, is hiding something.

When Charlie confronts with a person from her past, she understands that her story in this world of animated shadows, doppelgängers, twilighters and odious billionaires is just beginning...
