About this audiobook
'Mesmerizing and magical' SARAH BETH DURST
'Darkly whimsical and utterly heartwrenching' V. L. BOVALINO
Enter the beautiful and cutthroat world of magic and secret societies, where a bookseller must contend with a rival that will push her far past her limits. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Catelyn Wilson.
The bookshop must have an owner. . .
If you want a story that will change your life, Chiron's bookshop is where you go. For those lucky enough to grace its doors, it's a glimpse into a world of deadly bargains and powerful, magical books.
For Cassandra Fairfax, it's a reminder of everything she lost, when Chiron kicked her out and all but shuttered the shop. Since then, she's used her skills in less . . . ethical ways, trading stolen books and magical readings to wealthy playboys looking for power money can't buy.
Then Chiron dies. And if Cassandra knows anything, it's this: the bookshop must always have an owner.
To restore the shop, she'll need the help of Lowell Sharpe, a rival bookseller who is everything Cassandra is not - and knows it, too.
But as she is plunged into a world of unscrupulous collectors, deadly ink magic and shady societies, a dark force threatens to unravel the bookshops entirely . . .
