The city of Lamorr was the crown jewel of the Empire. Now, it is anything but shiny. Darkness and shadow have engulfed the streets, while the people, the Damned, are slaves to their oppressive Count's iron law. Thieves and robbers rule the Murk, a place where Garen has lived his entire life, stealing for a living. He has known no other way, until he's plucked from the streets and thrust into a job bigger than anything he's done so far in his dark and rough life, because he'll be working for the Thief Maker, the real count of Lamorr.

Moonlight's Dagger
In the moonlit ballroom of a forgotten castle, Serenya first sees him-the Shadow Lord-watching her with eyes that belong to the night itself. Their fates entwine not in waking hours, but in dreams that grow deeper, darker, and more dangerous with each passing night. Drawn to the castle by whispers of forbidden knowledge, Serenya discovers the truth of the Moonlight's Dagger, a weapon hidden for centuries in its shadowed halls. Forged from silver light and ancient sorcery, it holds the power to break Kael's curse... but at an unthinkable cost. As the boundary between dream and reality unravels, the two are pulled into a labyrinth of haunting secrets, veiled masquerades, and a love that defies the very shape of humanity. To claim their freedom, they must surrender what they were and embrace what they will become-creatures no longer bound by mortal life, but forever touched by moonlight. In the end, the curse will lift, the castle's shadows will fall away, and Serenya and Kael will step into a new life in the village. Not as humans. But as something more.

To survive, he must embrace the role of a Marauder, using a thief's instincts and a scholar's mind to navigate a world of brutal Beyonders and cosmic horrors. But his goal isn't just to pay off the debt. It's to steal everything from the gang that owns him: their secrets, their riches, and ultimately, his freedom. In a harbor city steeped in corruption, a single clever man is about to upset the balance of power.
