A primary reading series developed with UCL Institute of Education to help children become confident, independent readers.
Meet the Curse Workers – the fan favourite urban fantasy trilogy by global phenomenon Holly Black – now reborn in these unmissable new editions with stunning reimagined covers and updated texts never before published in the UK!
Cassel knows he’s being used as an assassin, but he’s trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is the right choice, even though he’s been raised to believe the government is the enemy of all curse workers.
With a mother on the run, the girl he loves about to take her place in the mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what’s right and what’s wrong becomes increasingly blurred.
When the Feds ask him to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he starts to wonder if they really are the good guys, or if it’s all a con. And if it is, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet – on love.
Murder mystery meets urban fantasy in the spellbinding world of the Curse Workers, where a single touch can bring love – or death – and your dreams might be more real than your memories. Brimming with dark magic, jaw-dropping twists, and a dash of romance, this iconic series is perfect for fans of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and Vicious by V. E. Schwab.

Reviews
Witty, twisty, and impossible to put down, Holly Black's Curse Workers series delivers magical heists and a young conman who is as flawed as he is brilliant. This is the kind of story - full of delightful, daring narrative sleight of hand - that kept me guessing with every page and that I won't soon forget
