Six of Crows meets Red Queen in this epic dystopian fantasy retelling of the Culper Spy Ring:
A shadow summoner.
A spy known as the Reaper.
An ex-assassin.
A bookish sharpshooter.
A convict with an affinity for healing.
Tallmadge needs two things to survive: her sword, and to maintain her winning streak in the highly illegal Scrap Fights.
Tyrannical Commander Dorn takes away the latter, and Tallmadge loses the only way to scrape enough money together to survive the Scrap. So when an opportunity to assassinate him comes along, she is more than happy to accept the mission to with her motley crew of West Republic outcasts.
But when she unlocks the ability to summon shadows, a power only a god-favored Wielder should have, her very existence becomes a threat to Dorn, who's counted on her weakness her entire life. Tallmadge must navigate the dangers of underground rebel factions, learn to work alongside her ability which seems to have a mind of its own, and kill Dorn before the census. Alliances with old enemies, new friends, and Saints are all necessary if she wants to kill Dorn, because he's out to kill her, and her crew, first.
