The Empire stands triumphant.
For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles. In the north the Forever King eyes the ever-expanding borders of the Empire and ponders war. The greatest danger lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has finally claimed her throne: her people sundered, she wonders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.
Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.
A Practical Guide to Evil is a YA fantasy novel about a young girl named Catherine Foundling making her way through the world – though, in a departure from the norm, not on the side of the heroes. Is there such a thing as doing bad things for good reasons, or is she just rationalizing her desire for control? Good and Evil are tricky concepts, and the more power you get the blurrier the lines between them become.

From the author of "A Practical Guide to Evil", comes the Pale Lights series.Book I: Lost ThingsTristan Abrascal is a thief, one of many making their living under the perpetual twilight of the greatest city in all of Vesper.

She has one relative left to call on, her estranged uncle, but she finds that the safety he offers comes at a cost. Angharad has sworn revenge, however, and her honour will allow for no compromise. She will do what she must to survive so that one day bloody vengeance can be visited upon her enemies.The paths of the two take them to the doorstep of the Watch, but for desperate souls like them enrolment is a lost cause. They will have to do it the hard way instead, by surviving the trials on the isle known as the Dominion of Lost Things. Where every year many go, and few return.Book II: Good TreasonsThe trials of the Dominion are over.

I didn’t ads could be on a synopsis
I wasn't here, it's all a work of your imagination and schizophrenia!
Will you resign yourself to bowing to those dogs of Chaos!? or will it continue with the purpose of balance?
I am an impartial observer of the world, I have seen the world change, dynasties fall and rise, trends emerge and merge, this conflict is just another one that disappears with time. In the face of time that never stops, balance or chaos has no meaning, only dust to dust is the supreme truth.
So you don't fear the consequences of acting as a mere Bystander!?
Living in fear of the consequences of your choices is the same as being alive with, but afraid of, living. Whether consequences or benefits, I accept everything that comes from my choices.
Yup, the chapters are bloody long? Even more than perfect run or Mother of Learning
The synopsis is interesting, I'll check it out later.
Damn thats a long ass synopsis, hope its not similar in the novel, it should be more succinct and concise in its words, I hope the novel can actually portray change of povs, do share your thoughts
I think a short synopsis would have suficiedSpoilerJoin the ranobe discord, link in my profile
