Ve městě Fantome je magie stínu vzácná a smrtící. Ovládají ji jen zloději a vrazi, kteří pod záštitou bratrstva Plášťů a Dýk soupeří o moc. Když záhadný útočník zavraždí sedmnáctileté Seraphine matku, najde úkryt u Plášťů. Před vůdcem Dýk ji však nic neuchrání, zvláště když přikáže Ransomovi, svému dědici, aby ji zabil. Přestože měli být nepřátelé, Ransom a Sera zjišťují, že je spojuje víc než jen magie. Uprostřed bojů o moc se musí rozhodnout: Pomsta, nebo odpuštění? Polibek, nebo smrt? Dýka, nebo plamen?

On the night of her mother's murder, 17-year-old Seraphine runs for her life. Seeking sanctuary with the Cloaks, Sera's heart is set on revenge. But are her secret abilities a match for the dark-haired boy whose quicksilver eyes follow her around the city? Nothing can prepare Sera for the moment she finally comes face-to-face with Ransom, heir to the Order of Daggers. And Ransom is shocked to discover that this unassuming farmgirl wields a strange and blazing magic he has never seen before... As the Cloaks and the Daggers grapple for control of Fantome's underworld, Sera and Ransom are consumed by the push and pull of their magic, and the deadly spark and terrible vengeance that keeps drawing them back together...
