Description

In a world where magic is illegal, love drives a teen to go against the crime syndicate he was born into in this dark fantasy trilogy, now in one volume.

From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author

Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of curse workers, people who have the power to change emotions, memories, and luck with the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they’re also all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists, but not Cassel. He doesn’t have magic, so he’s an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family—except for the small detail that he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.

Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He’s noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two older brothers, who are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he’s an unwitting pawn in a huge con game, he must unravel his past, and his memories. To find the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen . . .

This magical collection includes:

White Cat

Red Glove

Black Heart

“Witty, twisty, and impossible to put down, [this] series delivers magical heists and a young conman who is as flawed as he is brilliant. This is the kind of story—full of delightful, daring narrative sleight of hand—that kept me guessing with every page and that I won’t soon forget.” —Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times–bestselling author
