The Book of Light - (The Dark Library) by Morgan Reilly (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Wish for the power of the gods.

When Neeve steps foot on the crossroads, she prepares the wish that will take her magic, removing the dark power that nearly killed her best friend. But when she meets handsome chaosborn, Erick, he discovers that her power goes beyond everything she'd imagined.

She's godborn, gifted with deathsight, and someone placed a powerful barrier to guard her from the truth.

A curse forged in chaos.

Deathsight is a burden that leaves Neeve emotionally wrecked, but people travel to her door, coin in hand, to know where their life thread ends. Keeping herself and her sister fed, Neeve sells death readings until one fateful reading goes terribly wrong and she finds herself cursed, aging from dawn to dusk, losing her youth with every rising sun.

Only a fool would try to cheat Death.

Neeve and Erick set out on a desperate quest to reverse the curse before it kills her, her only hope resting on the shoulders of the woman who cast the spell. But Neeve is not the only one in pursuit. The relentless Wandering Order is closing in with one of its most lethal agents hot on their trail, and that agent sets his sights on Erick.

From cultists to curses and a friend's imminent death, Neeve faces the growing fear that she won't save herself or the ones she loves before Death comes to call.

Welcome the shadows in the third installment of The Dark Library Series. Don't be afraid of the dark.
