Illumé

Kate Smith

Paris, City of Light. And where there is light, there are shadows ... Thane da Silva works for the Subrosa Negri, a secretive department charged with keeping the peace between the mundane and the Pale, those beings with a little touch of the supernatural in their genetic makeup, a taint of shadow to their history. As the full blue moon casts a glow over the city, Thane's search for a pair of romantics performing a doomed ritual is just the beginning of an elaborate charade of mirrors and strange communiques. Flirting with the fringes of the Pale might be for fools but dabbling of this calibre attracts the attention of Les Luminaries. Powerful and passionate, they are the leaders of the Pale in Paris, and Thane's best hope of uncovering the truth. However, as he delves deeper into the heart-aching mysteries unveiled by the blue moon, he discovers that secrets lie uncomfortably close to home. By turns macabre and whimsical, gothic and pop-cultural, Illume will take you on a lavish journey into the shadows of the City of Light.
