Thief of Night

The highly-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black’s stunning adult debut, Book of Night, returns with a tale as dark and irresistible as the shadows themselves.

Charlie Hall has never been one to play it safe. Crooked from the day she was born, she’s built a life on bad decisions and doubled-down bets. But when you’re a thief who deals in shadows, the stakes are never just about what you can steal—they’re about what you stand to lose.

In Thief of Night, Holly Black weaves her signature blend of razor-sharp prose and morally complex characters into a story that will keep you turning pages long past midnight. Charlie may possess the skill to steal a shadow from a tower, but her greatest challenge yet lies ahead: stealing back a heart. In Black’s masterfully crafted world where shadows hold power and secrets run deeper than the darkest night, every choice carries consequences, and trust is the most dangerous currency of all.

Perfect for fans of atmospheric fantasy and antiheroes you can’t help but root for, this sequel delivers everything readers loved about Book of Night while pushing the story into thrilling new territory. Black’s adult fantasy continues to captivate with its unique magic system, morally gray characters, and the kind of twisty plotting that has made her one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary fantasy.
