Picture: A woman playing a cello with hair flowing Words: NIGHT BIRD An Adult Romantic Fantasy The Bargainer x The Lost Apothecary x Six of Crows Ava can become invisible and walk through walls but can’t escape her warded cage. Destined to become a courtesan and spy, she breaks free with the help of a boy, Zev, who then disappears. Eight years later, she reinvents herself as Night Bird, a vigilante for wronged women. She and her misfit gang find themselves in the crosshairs of a shadowy man, who turns out to be Zev. It’s unclear if he’s friend or foe. When she takes on her biggest target—the last man to see her mother alive—Zev may be the only person keeping her from going up in flames.
