He doesn’t have magic, so he’s an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family—except for the small detail that he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago. Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He’s noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two older brothers, who are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he’s an unwitting pawn in a huge con game, he must unravel his past, and his memories. To find the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen.

Street kids may have supernatural beings to protect them or have such powers themselves. Brujeria may be part of your way of life.

Holly Black spins a tale that is both seductive and chillingly enchanted. Set in a dangerous world where pleasure mingles with pain and nothing is exactly as it appears, Ironside is the stunning sequel to Tithe.

A rich, harrowing and compulsively readable parable of betrayal, abuse, friendship and love. A contemporary retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story.
