Black Heart
FROM THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CRUEL PRINCE AND BOOK OF NIGHT . . .
Cassel knows he's being used as an assassin, but he's trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is the right choice, even though he's been raised to believe the government is the enemy of all curse workers.
With a mother on the run, the girl he loves about to take her place as mob royalty, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what's right and what's wrong becomes increasingly blurred.
When the Feds ask him to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he starts to wonder if there are any good guys, or if it's all a con. And if it is, Cassel will have to decide if love is worth betting everything on, including his life.
Murder mystery meets contemporary fantasy in the cutthroat world of the Curse Workers, where a single touch can bring love - or death - and your dreams might be truer than your memories. Brimming with high-stakes deception, jaw-dropping twists, and a dash of romance, this iconic series is perfect for fans of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and Vicious by V. E. Schwab.
