#1 in The Aldoran Chronicles

The Black Raven Syndicate is the most prolific crime organization in Florain. Spies, assassins, and thieves stalk the streets, all on the hunt for their next conquest. Among them is the infamous Silver Tongue, Theo Thorne, a thief with a lengthy reputation that leaves him a hunted, though uncatchable, man.

When someone close to him is murdered and his tavern -- his home -- becomes endangered, Theo is recruited by the shadowy Kaegen Fen, a high-ranking Syndicate Talon, to commit the most dangerous heist imaginable: break into a vault in an unbroachable military citadel and steal a priceless treasure. In return, Kaegen will fulfil Theo's one desire: to regain his home.

⚔️This is an incomplete, unedited version of the story. I am in the process of finishing and editing this book that will be available on Amazon when it is complete. ✨ ⚠️Read at your own risk. Legends tell of fearsome beasts, dashing rouges, and hordes of gold. Stories that capture the imagination, of all who dare to read them. This one is no exception, but far more than what meets the eye. For deep within the streets and canals of the great trading city of Talvos. A prophecy will come to life, and change the fates of two young denizens of this fair city forever. While the nobles hide behind their walls and houses, while the merchants count their gold, and while the gangs of the city take refuge in their taverns, brothels, and boxing dens. All unaware of the chaos that shall ensue, in only a mere three days time. Their lives will lay on the shoulders of these two unlikely allies. Tara, a thief known for her cunning, grand escapes, and her reputation as a first rate mage. She has only one goal on her mind, survive the perils of the streets and keep from being tossed into a cell. Then there is Andreas, noble, sharp, a perfect weapon of the king as the tyrant's skilled assassin. A path he chose, to keep at bay the gilded cage that waits for him. Challenges that they will face, along with a pirate queen hunting for a nameless treasure, and a ghostly rouge stealing from the kingdom's elite. Look no further for a story where legends lurk in the shadows, and doors that lead to secrets untold. Where gods walk the earth while monsters haunt the seas.

Hunted by a kingdom. Bound to a monster. She'd burn the world to protect them-even if it means losing herself. They thought escaping Maelira's grasp was enough. They were wrong. After secretly tethering herself to the dark sorceress to spare Thorne from being reclaimed, Ariadne Thatcher has kept the truth buried beneath silence and scars. But the cost of her choice runs deeper than blood-because now, the entire kingdom wants her dead. Declared a traitor and branded as a fae monster, Ariadne is the king's most wanted fugitive. With a royal bounty on her head, she and her companions-Thorne, the assassin forged in shadow, and Ezra, the clever spy with too much heart-are being hunted across the realm by blades, spies, and magic alike. Nowhere is safe. No one can be trusted. As Ariadne struggles to contain the magic Maelira twisted into her, Thorne's haunted past resurfaces, threatening to unravel the control he's fought so hard to keep. Meanwhile, Ezra finds his reckless loyalty tested when Evangeline-Ariadne's childhood best friend-appears without warning, bringing with her Ariadne's younger brother, Finian, and more trouble than answers. With old ties reawakening and deadly forces closing in, the group must decide how far they're willing to go to protect one another. Because survival is no longer enough. Not when the king wants Ariadne dead. Not when Maelira still calls her tether. And not when the only way forward may be through fire. Book 2 of The Ashen Reign Series
