In a kingdom where shadows are living magic, 17-year-old Lirael makes a desperate mistake.
She steals a powerful shadow fragment from the black market to save her sick brother - only to discover she has taken a piece of the dying Sun King's royal soul.
Now the twin suns are fading. Eternal night is coming. And the Veil Court's deadliest assassins are hunting her.
With an ancient king's voice whispering in her mind and dangerous new powers awakening inside her, Lirael must choose: return the shadow and restore the old order... or rewrite the fate of the entire kingdom.
But every thread she weaves brings her closer to losing herself.
