Night Thief (#2)

ILLEGAL USE OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES HARMS HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLEGAL CIRCULATION IS PROHIBITED AND CARRIES ESTABLISHED LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY. Having vanquished the sinister millionaire Lionel Salt and snatched her beloved Vince from the clutches of the powerful leaders of the Shadow Lodge, Charlie thought she had won. Agreeing to become the Hierophant and risking her life tracking dangerous autonomous shadows seemed a small price to pay for the life of her loved one. But Vince is no longer who he once was: his memories of the last year of his life have been erased, leaving only the alter-ego Red – a ruthless shadow who has served as a killer for Salt for years. Red doesn't remember Charlie and doesn’t love her. When Charlie is tasked with tracking down the Dark – an extremely dangerous criminal responsible for a brutal massacre – she feels not just lonely and broken by grief. She feels vulnerable. In a world where shadows have a will of their own, the question is not just how to survive. The question is how to protect oneself from what cannot be escaped – from one’s own shadow.
