“Absolutely fantastic—I couldn't put this book down! A stunning, absorbing, and timely tale about a wondrous library, magical beasts, and a conwoman with both everything and nothing to lose. I loved it!” —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

Kasira used to be a masterful con artist: choosing her target, building trust, judging the precise moment to make her move. Now, she’s keeping her head down and working off a lengthy prison sentence. But Kasira’s past catches up to her when she’s offered a deal: her freedom in exchange for one last con—infiltrate the fabled Library of Amorlin.

When Kasira goes undercover as the new Assistant Librarian, she enters an enchanting world brimming with books and magical creatures, tempting her with a life she can never have. But Kasira’s real future depends on her charge: the long con to bring down the Librarian. Unfortunately, Allaster is as prickly as he is handsome . . . and hiding a beastly transformation that could destroy him.

Kasira has to decide: take down Allaster and destroy the only place that has ever felt like home—or be herself for once in her life, and risk losing it all anyway.
