<b>The stunning first book in an exciting new fantasy trilogy!  Murder, thievery, witchcraft, and betrayal--fans of Marie Lu, Leigh Bardugo, and Kristin Cashore take note!<br></b><br>Julia has the unusual ability to be . . . unseen. Not invisible, exactly. Just beyond most people's senses. <br><br>It's a dangerous trait in a city that has banned all forms of magic and drowns witches in public Cleansings. But it's a useful trait for a thief and a spy. And Julia has learned--crime pays.<br><br>She's being paid very well indeed to infiltrate the grand house of Mrs. Och and report back on the odd characters who live there and the suspicous dealings that take place behind locked doors. <br><br>But what Julia discovers shakes her to the core. She certainly never imagined that the traitor in the house would turn out to be . . . <i>her</i>. <br><br><b><br></b>
