On the night of her mothers murder, 17-year-old Seraphine runs for her life. Seeking sanctuary with the Cloaks, Seras heart is set on revenge. But are her secret abilities a match for the dark-haired boy whose quicksilver eyes follow her around the city Nothing can prepare Sera for the moment she finally comes face-to-face with Ransom, heir to the Order of Daggers. And Ransom is shocked to discover that this unassuming farmgirl wields a strange and blazing magic he has never seen before As the Cloaks and the Daggers grapple for control of Fantomes underworld, Sera and Ransom are consumed by the push and pull of their magic, and the deadly spark and terrible vengeance that keeps drawing them back together
