Most stories heroes are known for their bravery, chivalry, and kind hearts. They are expected to go out of their way to help others and to always fight for the greater good. This is not one of those stories. Shaemus Snow is a temperamental, sly, master thief who does what he likes and takes what he pleases. He and his band of thieves pickpocket and steal from the whole Kingdom of Etruborg. However, things begin to change for Shaemus when a strange girl follows him home after his gang had successfully stolen a jewel-encrusted horse from a nobleman's house. The girl claims to have some sort of connection to him and starts speaking of hidden magical abilities. Shaemus is all ready to dismiss her when she shows him her scars and he suddenly realizes they match his. Between dragons, elves, and a malicious warlock, Shaemus and the girl must travel to distant lands in search of what they truly are and where they came from. Should the pair be successful, they may be able to save more than just themselves, for who really knows what is buried deep within the snow.
