A estreia de Holly Black na fantasia adulta, depois do enorme sucesso da saga Young Adult O Príncipe Cruel. Charlie Hall nunca encontrou uma fechadura que não conseguisse abrir, um livro que não pudesse roubar ou uma má decisão que não fosse capaz de tomar. Passou grande parte da sua vida a trabalhar para crepusculistas — magos capazes de despertar e manipular as sombras a seu bel-prazer —, roubando documentos preciosos para o mundo da magia ou participando em esquemas que em tempos lhe valeram a alcunha de Charlatã. Agora, Charlie quer afastar-se dos erros do passado e trabalha como empregada de bar, mas abandonar este universo mágico não é fácil. A sua irmã mais nova, Posey, está desesperada por despertar a própria sombra e tornar-se crepusculista, e Vince, o namorado, parece estar a esconder-lhe alguma coisa. Quando uma temível figura do passado reaparece, o precário equilíbrio que Charlie conseguiu manter parece prestes a desmoronar-se, arrastando-a para um turbilhão de mentiras e crimes. Determinada a sobreviver e a proteger aqueles que mais ama, Charlie terá de enfrentar um grupo de mágicos obscuros, bilionários imprevisíveis e crepusculistas poderosos que procuram apoderar-se do infame Livro da Noite, que se diz conter um segredo capaz de lhes conferir um extraordinário poder.
