Mesmerizing and magical' SARAH BETH DURST'Darkly whimsical and utterly heartwrenching' V. L. BOVALINOEnter the beautiful and cutthroat world of magic and secret societies, where a bookseller must contend with a rival that will push her far past her limits. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Catelyn Wilson. The bookshop must have an owner. . . Cassandra Fairfax has always known that bookshops are magic, filled with stories that can change your life . . . for a price. She spent most of her life in one - up until her guardian Chiron threw her out and all but shuttered the shop. Since then, she's barely been making ends meet, trading stolen books to power-hungry playboys in order to get by. Until Cassandra receives shocking news: Chiron is dead. The bookshop is hers. Thrown into a world of unscrupulous collectors, deadly ink magic and shady societies, Cassandra quickly realises she's out of her depth, even with the reluctant help of her irritatingly handsome rival, Lowell Sharpe. A dark force is coming, and if Cassandra doesn't stop it, it could unravel the bookshop entirely . . .
