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.

As Amina navigates the treacherous waters of court life, she discovers that the city is on the brink of chaos. And the Overseer might be hiding more than he lets on.

Before long, she realizes her captor wasn't the worst that could happen. Everywhere Amber turns, she's fighting for her life and the heart of a broken man she's come to love.
