It's hard being young and just starting out, especially when you're also dealing with your possibly incredibly dangerous superhuman abilities. It's already pretty difficult living and doing things for yourself, but when you throw superpowers on top of it... that's a recipe for disaster. The CIA seem to have taken a liking to five college age kids from all around the country. Mitch Grassi, saving people at a Walmart; Scott Hoying, working in a morgue; Kirstin Maldonado, finishing an important test at Kent State University; Avi Kaplan, on a vacation to a waterpark/campground; and Kevin Olusola, performing in the circus. When these five cross paths, their entire lives are flipped toward the life they've never wanted. But when their world is threatened, perhaps their newfound friendship will be enough to save the planet from itself.

Stealing? Plotting? Fighting? Fairly normal for Key. Questing with princes, fighting eternal evil, and stirring an ancient magic that could destroy the world? Not so much... While the rich men rest on piles of gold and their well-to-do wives dance around into pretty lace dresses, those who aren't nearly as fortunate are left to the streets. Key, always fascinated with stories of honorable heroes she lived for as a child, tries to help out as many as these people as she can. Nonetheless, she is a thief, an a notorious one at that. No one knows her real name, as she goes by many, but there's one unanimous nickname that has stuck with her. Lady Thief. She's not your typical lady. She's not elegant, charming, endearing, patient, or even extremely friendly. One day our Lady Thief has an unfortunate run in with some royalty, and, somehow, tangled in a web of lies, she's managed to get herself sucked into following King Cavalierre's two sons in a political campaign, so they can win the trust of their people. Somewhere along the way, she ends up on a quest that could stir up an ancient magic, which threatens to rip the new world- and her heart- apart at the seams. Things have just gotten complicated for our Lady Thief.
