NIAMH BURKE

THE BORROWED FACE

“The safest disguise is not invisibility. It is becoming exactly what no one bothers to question.”

✦ THE BORROWED FACE

Niamh Burke gets people past hostile eyes by giving them appearances no one thinks to question. Controlled, cautious and dryly funny, she disguises the Embers Alliance's rescues as ordinary workers, routine traffic and empty corridors. Her illusions cannot conceal sound, scent or physical contact, so every borrowed face needs a convincing explanation and a real escape route.

Fiercely protective of those she conceals, Niamh has spent years making other people unrecognizable while struggling to feel certain of herself beneath her own disguises.
