Andorren (or Ren to the fine ladies he pursues) is a charming and affluent member of an elite circle. Born to a family of talented glass makers, he wants for nothing and enjoys all he pleases. He is accomplished in all he touches, but somehow, his life seems dull and underwhelming, and the spoiled young man longs for a life away from the trivial and tedious existence of the comfortable craftsman.
Sneaking away in the dead of night, never thinking farther than the next thrill, Ren stumbles upon the Family of Thieves, and is taken in by an elite crime guild that lives as a vibrant, corrupt court in the underbelly of the society he once belonged to. Soon, his clever tongue and crooked nose would earn him the fame and adventure he craves... But Ren has stumbled into a life of danger and deceit, and will soon discover the peril he's invited upon himself. Will the luck he's stolen himself be enough to survive in the twisted Family of Thieves?

The Thief Prince
Draven Veyr lives in the shadows of Arvalon, a thief so bold the city whispers his name like a curse. Handsome, cunning, dangerous-he is the phantom who slips through walls, steals from nobles, and laughs at the guards who never catch him. But when he lifts a relic from the High Temple, luck turns to curse. His magic falters. Shadows betray him. Worse still, his friends dare him to do the unthinkable: steal from the empire's golden heir, Prince Theron. At the victory banquet, Draven walks straight into the lion's den wearing a noble's mask. One smile too sharp, one glance too long-and the knight prince sees through him. Between cursed relics, royal suspicion, and a dangerous spark neither can deny, Draven must decide if legend is worth the noose tightening around his neck. Thrones glitter. Shadows whisper. And the Thief Prince is about to discover that some treasures are more dangerous than gold. Author's note: "A thief never works alone. I wrote this tale with the help of an AI scribe-sharpening words, polishing scenes, but always guided by my hand."
