adventure assassin evil fantasy gauntlet mercenary pride queen queendom red redgauntlet romance thief thieves

Ridgewood's Black Market is home to many criminals and not all of them are as bad as their occupations suggest. A caring thief, an assassin that can no longer kill, and a rebel leader that wants nothing more than to bring peace are just a few of these exceptions.

When one of the Market's thieves decides to steal the Queen's crown in response to the brutal Winter taxes, her life changes for the worse. Gwendolyn spends the next year hiding from the Queen's wrath, and just when she thinks she's safe again, something goes wrong. A mercenary targets her, though her life is spared at the expense of her brother's injury.

In search of a way to escape this hard life, she accepts a heist with a new partner in crime and searches for the infamous Red Gauntlet. As her story progresses, she can't help but wonder what the Gauntlet truly means to the Ruler of Ridgewood. 

Has she stolen another useless trinket, or is there something magical about this object?All Rights Reserved

"Gweneria." Arowin's deep voice bounced off the walls forcing everyone to flinch by the sheer volume. My demeanor never changed. I won't roll over like a dog for him. Glaring straight into his golden eyes I smirked. "It seems you're late to the party, my dearest divine." I sighed with fake disappointment. "Luckily, you've made it in time for the best part." I shot a wicked smile towards Gerin. I practically felt his fear from where I stood. "Enough of this flippancy!" Gerin shrieked. "This filth is nothing. A lowly woman!" He spoke to the crowd. "You couldn't kill me even if you tried." He scoffed. A deadly grin graced my face as I reveled in the thought of proving him wrong. "Shall we test his claim, Arowin?" I glimpsed over my shoulder. "Stop this, Gweneria." He spit. I could tell he was on edge. "What to do?" I tapped my finger on my chin in indecision. "My divine doesn't want me to entertain everyone. That seems like such a shame though." I feigned sadness then dropped my facade entirely as a dead look overcame my face. No one moved as they kept their stares on me.

Blood and Stars by _that_nerdy_dweeb_

This is my take on a few cliches in the romance-fantasy world, but fear not! I've added quite a few sick twists and turns ;) - - - - - - - He's royalty. She's a thief. He's never seen hunger or poverty. She's lived it. They're enemies. Worst of all, she is destined to die by his hand. So why are they Soulmates? 🌙 Jythera, Astana. A town for the rich and the royals. Under the gilded exterior, Mia runs her life. As the notorious thief Moonshade, she isn't any vigilante. She steals for herself and for herself only. When a Lord asks for her help, she accepts because of the promised fortune. Her job is simple - expose the Queen's sister for her plot to have the King, Queen, and Crowned Prince assassinated. Except, Mia gets a lot more than she bargained for. With her Soulmate on her tail and her thief side nearly exposed, she finds a much longer, deeper plot than she thought before. She is in for much for than she was being paid for. #95 in -thief- #1 in -gilded- #42 in -plot-

"Gweneria." Arowin's deep voice bounced off the walls forcing everyone to flinch by the sheer volume. My demeanor never changed. I won't roll over like a dog for him. Glaring straight into his golden eyes I smirked. "It seems you're late to the party, my dearest divine." I sighed with fake disappointment. "Luckily, you've made it in time for the best part." I shot a wicked smile towards Gerin. I practically felt his fear from where I stood. "Enough of this flippancy!" Gerin shrieked. "This filth is nothing. A lowly woman!" He spoke to the crowd. "You couldn't kill me even if you tried." He scoffed. A deadly grin graced my face as I reveled in the thought of proving him wrong. "Shall we test his claim, Arowin?" I glimpsed over my shoulder. "Stop this, Gweneria." He spit. I could tell he was on edge. "What to do?" I tapped my finger on my chin in indecision. "My divine doesn't want me to entertain everyone. That seems like such a shame though." I feigned sadness then dropped my facade entirely as a dead look overcame my face. No one moved as they kept their stares on me.
