A thief drawn into a changing world

Ari has built a solitary life in the forest with her bobcat, Jagger, while civil war continues beyond it. A stranger’s job offer pulls her into an uneasy partnership with Ely, an optimistic magician whose talkative nature contrasts with Ari’s preference for solitude. Their journey brings the dangers of a changing world into the foreground and puts Ari’s thieving skills to the test, alongside the secrets she has kept. As the opening book in the Until the Stars Are Dead series, it sets up an adventure centered on an unlikely partnership, animal companionship, and a heroine forced beyond her chosen isolation.

Book overview

An exceptionally-skilled thief, Ari lives deep in the forest with no one but her bobcat Jagger for company. She is determined to keep to herself as civil war drags on around her, but when a mysterious stranger appears with an unexpected job offer, she has no choice but to leave her quiet life behind.

 

Unwillingly paired with chatty, optimistic magician Ely, Ari finds her patience, wits, and skill tested when the journey quickly proves to be far from what either of them bargained for. Ari must face one of the greatest tests of her thieving career - and come to terms with the many secrets she has been hiding.

 

With an exciting heroine and a diverse cast of characters, A Memory of Light is the first title in the fantasy series Until the Stars Are Dead, which follows Ari and Ely's adventures navigating the dangers of their complicated, quickly-changing world.
