First, this world is definitely rich with magic. A different kind to what we are used to seeing for most books. People cast spells from cards. There are both good, practical and bad, cursed cards that can be used.
Marlow is a cursebreaker, and while she used to be someone, when her mother disappeared without a word, she found a way to make a living for herself in the Marshes, the less popular part of this city.
We get a glimpse of her life before, including who her 'friends' were, as well as what her life looks like now. There is certainly a lot more to discover about this world, and Marlow's journey to finding out more about her mother's disappearance and what the 'flower of midnight black' symbol means.
