The Mad Crusades have torn Igane apart - ravaging not only its people, but its land and statehood as well. Known as the notorious Princess Thief for her propensity to steal heirlooms worth a ransom, Anastasia Grimm enjoys her life of crime. She wants absolutely nothing to do with the violent crusades that plague the lands. Anastasia's murky past, riddled with pain, makes it even more impossible to believe in the heavenly goddess or her promises. But after being betrayed by a client, Anastasia finds herself on the run with a map that leads her right into the crusades, and into the arms of a goddess that may very well shatter every belief she has. And with her past catching up and tearing everything apart in its path, survival might hinge on Anastasia's ability to face what's in her blood. The only question is will this bandit find her faith, or will she lose her life? ☼ Mad Crusades #1 ☼ ☼ First draft ☼
