Nocturna
(eAudiobook)
Description
To Finn Voy, magic is two things. The first: a knife to hold under the chin of anyone who crosses her. The second: a disguise she shrugs on as easily as others pull on cloaks. A talented shapeshifter, it's been years since Finn has seen her own face, and that's exactly how she likes it. But when Finn gets caught by a powerful mobster she's indebted to, she's forced into an impossible mission-steal a legendary treasure from the palace or lose her shapeshifting magic forever. After the murder of his older brother, Prince Alfehr is first in line for the Castallan throne. But Alfie can't help but feel that he will never live up to his brother's legacy. Riddled with grief, Alfie is obsessed with finding a way to bring his brother back, even if it means dabbling in forbidden magic. In a cruel twist of fate, Alfie's best friend is nearly killed in the crossfire of Finn's heist, and Alfie accidentally unlocks a terrible, ancient magic to save him-a magic, which, if not contained, will devour the world. Alfie and Finn race to vanquish what they have unleashed. But to do so, they each must contend with the darkness hiding in their pasts. Set in a Latin-inspired kingdom based in part on the author's own Dominican heritage, A Forgery of Magic uses a society built on incredibly inventive magic to highlight real-world themes such as culture in the aftermath of colonialism and the anxiety of those who stand to inherit that legacy.
