The Dagger and the Flame (The City of Fantome, #1)

by Catherine Doyle

Take only what your cloak can carry, and your conscience can bear. Armand Versini, FOUNDER OF THE ORDER OF CLOAKS Those who refuse to wield the dagger are doomed to die by its blade. Hugo Versini, FOUNDER OF THE ORDER OF DAGGERS

The Daggers consumed Shade in small doses, temporarily turning their bodies into deadly weapons where one touch alone could kill. The Cloaks never consumed Shade. Rather, they wore it, allowing them to blend in with the night and take from it whatever they wished.

Take only what your cloak can carry, and your conscience can bear.
