Alors qu'elle se remet de ses blessures à la suite d'un massacre inexpliqué, Alex Stern se voit proposer d'intégrer l'université Yale au sein de la Maison Léthé. Cette société secrète a pour mission de contrôler l'usage de la magie au sein des huit autres maisons que compte la prestigieuse institution. La jeune femme doit cette position enviable quoique dangereuse à un talent très particulier:elle est capable de voir les fantômes. Mais un soir, elle est témoin d'un meurtre d'une violence rare. Son enquête la confrontera à des forces qui défient l'imagination...
Les bas-fonds de Ketterdam s'organise en gangs rivaux. L'homme le plus ambitieux et le plus jeune de la pègre est Kaz Brekker. Aussi brillant que mystérieux, aussi charismatique que dangereux, et surtout, connu pour être un voleur hors pair. Prêt à tout pour de l'argent, il accepte la mission du riche marchand Van Eck : délivrer un savant du palais de Glace, réputé imprenable. Ce prisonnier est l'inventeur du jurda parem, une drogue multipliant sans limite les pouvoirs surnaturels de la caste des magiciens : les Grishas. Une drogue, qui, tombée dans les mauvaises mains, risque d'engendrer un chaos irréversible.
Après avoir réussi à s'enfuir du Palais des Glaces, Kaz et ses compagnons se sentent invulnérables. Un revirement de situation va cependant changer la donne d'une partie mortelle que devront jouer les jeunes prodiges du crime. Alors que les grandes puissances Grisha s'organisent pour leur mettre la main dessus, Kaz imagine un plan, entre vengeance et arnaque, qui leur assurera la gloire éternelle en cas de réussite, et provoquera la ruine de leur monde s'ils échouent.
Un pays déchiré par la guerre civile. Une jeune femme idolâtrée, rongée par ses propres pouvoirs. Un corsaire flamboyant et mystérieux. Un soldat renégat, en proie aux doutes ; une menace gradissante. un danger imminent. Pour s'opposer au Darkling, Alina devra explorer ses propres ténèbres. Au risque d'y perdre sa lumière.
Imposture. Manipulation.Traque.
Un royaume au bord du chaos. Un tyran sur un trône d'ombre. Une sainte sans pouvoirs. Sans alliés. Sans armée. Le combat final de la lumière contre les ténèbres.
Loyauté. Amour. Renaissance.
Le salut de Ravka mérite-t-il tous les sacrifices ? Seule l'Invocatrice de lumière en décidera.
