΄A fresh, gritty world bursting with wonderful characters΄ALLISON SAFT, author of A Far Wilder Magic

΄A fast-paced thrill ride with immersive worldbuilding΄ FRANCES WHITE, author of Voyage of the Damned

As a witch in the walled city of Chernograd, Kosara has plenty of practice treating lycanthrope bites, bargaining with kikimoras, and slaying bloodsucking upirs. There΄s only one monster she can΄t defeat: her ex, the Zmey, known as the Tsar of Monsters. She΄s defied him one too many times and now he΄s hunting her. Betrayed by someone close to her, Kosara΄s only choice is to trade her shadow-the source of her powers-for a quick escape.

Unfortunately, Kosara soon develops the deadly sickness that plagues shadowless witches-and only reclaiming her magic can cure her. To find it, she΄s forced to team up with a suspiciously honorable detective. Even worse, all the clues point in a single direction: To get her shadow back, Kosara will have to face the Foul Days΄ biggest threats without it. And she΄s only got twelve days.

But in a city where everyone is out for themselves, who can Kosara trust to assist her in outwitting the biggest monster from her past?

΄A brilliant modern fantasy that΄s not afraid to show its teeth.΄ ED MCDONALD, author of The Redwinter Chronicles
