Stint Stories

Stint's can slow down time. Doer's can read minds and emotions. Lucre's can manipulate memories. Lucres live a life of luxury, their powers overseeing all; the rich and the Royals. Doers are the performers, using their talents as entertainment; middle class. Stints are the lowest, making it very hard not to live a life by stealing. And life for Lili doesn't beat away that stereotype. But when she figures out what the Royals are hiding, what she knows, where she stands. The world before her turns to dust. Lili struggles between a life in the City - a life she's always known, or to unveil every secret she hears; even the ones from her allies. But anyone will do anything to keep her, conceal her. Stop her from running. But Lili isn't determined to run far. She will hide in plain sight. In front of the court. In front of the city. On the throne.
