18yo Wren, who believes she was not given a magical gift by the Fates, attempts to visit the Fate called Day, but ends up being escorted into Dusk’s room. When she enters her throne room, she finds chaos with a trail of blood. She finds a note Dusk has written to her as she escapes. Wren is acquainted with a thief by the name of Damien. He is the thief who has stolen her gift. The Fate's note seems to guide Wren to Damien. Wren convinces him to help her find her lost gift but in the process they will also try to solve the mystery of the missing Dusk, why so many of the poor are going missing, and who is the instigator.
Quinn engages the reader from the beginning. Quinn builds a believable world with likeable characters. The plot is catchy and fast paced. And, the story ends with a twist on a cliff hanger so there will be another book. But swears abounded and the sex scene is quite graphic for a teenage reader. There were also some events that seemed too contrived.
Most in the story are white, high class people, but Damien's sidekick is a black female who is poor.
