When a plot to steal Ravenna's Crown Jewels goes terribly wrong, Nadine finds herself teamed up (against her will) with a group of hostile allies, some from neighbouring countries, and forced to pull off an impossible heist for her freedom. They must journey across the country and break into an impenetrable stronghold. Steal an item that no one has seen and lived to tell the tale. Nadine is convinced they will tear one another apart before they find the artefact. But when secrets become revealed and they find out exactly what the flying monsters are, their mission gets even more complicated. Despite all the odds, Nadine and her gang might be forced to work together. **My oldest work on Wattpad.
