The highly-anticipated sequel to Holly Black's stunning adult debut, the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller, Book of Night. 
 
Charlie Hall, glue trap for disaster, crooked from the day she was born, who’d never met a bad decision she wasn’t willing to double down on, may have finally met her match. 
 
After defeating Salt, and stealing her lover – the powerful shadow Vince – back from under the noses of the powerful Cabal leaders, she thought she’d won. Agreeing to become the Hierophant and risking her life hunting down dangerous rogue shadows seemed a small price to pay if it she got to do it while being tethered to Vince. 
 
But Vince is no longer the man she loved. After the tethering process took all memories of the last year, all he recalls is being Red, the shadow who spent years forced to kill for a cruel, mercurial billionaire. Red no longer remembers her and does not like her. 
 
So when Charlie is ordered to find and kill the shadow responsible for a massacre at a local church, she’s worse than just alone, heartbroken and outmatched. She’s vulnerable. How do you protect yourself from your own shadow?
