About this audiobook
The light is made of names.
In the Glass Kingdom, the lamps are never allowed to go out. Every lantern in Calvere holds back the Rime, a killing cold that creeps down from the north. And every lantern burns with something stolen: the shadows of the condemned.
Nurat Vey has hidden hers for eleven years, ever since the night the Lightwardens took her mother. Now, with nothing but a knife of black glass, she slips into the Mirror Ball to steal back what is hers, and saves the life of the prince who signs the warrants.
Evander Aurelis has sent forty-two people to the Bridge of Lamps, and he remembers every name. When the knife wakes in Nurat's hand, he could have her unshadowed by morning. Instead, he makes her a bargain.
But every time the knife wakes, it takes a memory of her mother. And as twelve nights count down to the coronation, Nurat learns what the light is truly made of, and what it will cost to put it out.
