White Cat
FROM THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CRUEL PRINCE AND BOOK OF NIGHT . . .
Meet the Curse Workers - the fan favourite urban fantasy trilogy by global phenomenon Holly Black - now reborn in these unmissable new editions with stunning reimagined covers and updated texts never before published in the UK!
Cassel grew up in a family of curse workers - people who can rewrite your emotions, your memories, your luck - with nothing more than a touch. It's the kind of magic that got outlawed generations ago. Everyone who has it is considered a criminal.
But Cassel isn't like the rest of them. He hasn't got magic. That means he's always been an outsider - the only straight-laced kid in a crooked family. At least, that's what he believed, right up until three years ago, when he murdered the girl he loved, Lila, who was also heir to the Zacharov crime family.
Now he's started sleepwalking, waking on rooftops, chasing a white cat through his dreams. The more he digs, the more his past begins to unravel. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he realises the only way to find out the truth is to outcon the conmen.
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 beloved series is perfect for fans of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and Vicious by V. E. Schwab.
