The struggle for love and freedom
The Star
|November 27, 2025
IN THIEF of Night, author Holly Black introduces readers to Charlie Hall, a once-skilled con artist whose life spirals into chaos after a job nearly costs her everything.
Instead of escaping her past, she trades her freedom to the Cabal, a ruthless group of elite gloamists who have captured her boyfriend, Vince, a powerful shadow. Now, as the Cabal’s new Hierophant, Charlie is forced to hunt rogue shadows, not out of loyalty, but to keep Vince safe.
This story is from the November 27, 2025 edition of The Star.
