    The moment escape became an option for Arden Kimball, she jumped at her one shot at freedom. With the help of the most legendary criminal coterie in Wiseman, California, she escapes the grasp of her cruel stepmother - and just in time, too, because she just came dangerously close to losing her life at the woman's hands. Now, Ollie Fielder and Gillian Quinn are ready to bring her into their previously seven-person team of surprisingly talented young jewel thieves. That is, if her stepmother doesn't track her down first... Inspired by Snow White and other fairy tales, this story follows Arden as she learns what the Fox Hunters do on a daily basis. She'll help them steal from the rich, stage elaborate escapes from said rich people's fortress-like homes, and even clean up some of the real scumbags stalking the streets of Wiseman. And, after a life of loneliness, she'll finally find the two things she needed most - friendship and love. (With thanks to Kaitlin Hillerich - Twitter: @ink_and_quills - whose recent blog post about fairytale retellings helped me get this idea started.) :D

    There are people who leave no trace behind. No records, no memories, no one left to say their name. And then, there is someone who asks. Every night, under lights that never go out, she does the same thing. She looks at those passing through the edge of disappearance and quietly asks, "Would you tell me your name?" She doesn't cry. She doesn't pray. She doesn't ask who was right or wrong. She only writes. Not stories. Not confessions. Just names. Names that would have vanished without a sound. Names that no one else would remember. She writes them down carefully, one by one, as if each letter carries a weight no one else can see. She believes that remembering is enough. That even if the world forgets, someone should remain. So she stays. In a place where the night always looks the same, where factory lights never turn off, where the sea is always too far away to reach. She doesn't ask for forgiveness. She doesn't write her own name. Because she believes she doesn't deserve to be remembered. But still- she listens. To the silence between breaths, to the moment just before someone disappears, to the fragile space where a name can still be spoken. If you were about to be forgotten... would you tell her your name?

    In a world ruled by blood oaths and broken crowns, love is the most dangerous vow of all. Saphira Vale once believed she could outlive the ghosts of her past-until she became bound to Elias Draven, the man who conquered Corsica's underworld with charm as sharp as his cruelty. To the world, he's a refined crime lord draped in power and precision. To Saphira, he's the man who saved her life... and chained her to a throne built on secrets. But when whispers rise that Kareem, Elias's presumed-dead brother, is alive and gathering an army of the forgotten, Saphira finds herself caught between loyalty and rebellion. Each message she receives from the shadows pulls her closer to the truth-and closer to the man Elias swore he buried. As Corsica trembles under unseen war, vows made in love and vengeance begin to blur. Elias must confront the ghosts he created, and Saphira must decide whether to become his salvation-or his downfall. Because in this empire of ash and ivory, every love story ends with blood on the floor.
