Publisher Description
Meet the Curse Workers - the fan favourite urban fantasy trilogy by global phenomenon Holly Black - now reborn in these unmissable new editions with stunning reimagined covers and updated texts never before published in the UK!
Cassel knows he's being used as an assassin, but he's trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is the right choice, even though he's been raised to believe the government is the enemy of all curse workers.
With a mother on the run, the girl he loves about to take her place in the mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what's right and what's wrong becomes increasingly blurred.
When the Feds ask him to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he starts to wonder if they really are the good guys, or if it's all a con. And if it is, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet - on love.
Murder mystery meets urban fantasy in the spellbinding world of the Curse Workers, where a single touch can bring love - or death - and your dreams might be more real than your memories. Brimming with dark magic, jaw-dropping twists, and a dash of romance, this iconic series is perfect for fans of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and Vicious by V. E. Schwab.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this third installment of Black's popular series, 17-year-old Cassel Sharpe is a Curse Worker who can transform anyone and anything into another object and in a world where magic is outlawed that makes him a wanted man. No matter how hard he tries to be normal, circumstances get in the way even the object of his affection, Lila, is the daughter of the mob boss holding Cassel's mother hostage. And with the government out to harness his powers for evil, Cassel's life is about to get even more complicated. This audio edition benefits from the talents of narrator Jesse Eisenberg, whose youthful sounding voice and fast-paced delivery perfectly reflect the young protagonist whose self-confidence is developing in his very unstable world. Eisenberg who narrated the two previous volumes in the series delivers a strong performance that will captivate listeners and satisfy Curse Workers fans. Ages 12 up. A Gollancz paperback.
