About the Book: The story is set in a magical world with rival factions—the Cloaks and the Daggers—who control a deadly power known as “Shade-magic.” It features a determined young heroine, Seraphine, seeking revenge for her mother’s murder, and introduces a classic “enemies-to-lovers” trope through her tense encounter with the heir to the rival guild, Ransom. The narrative is driven by her journey of self-discovery as she learns to control a unique magic.
