In a world at war over magic, an imprisoned thief is invited to plan a heist to steal the World Heart again. 

Ever Thymeon dreams of her freedom, a thing of the past after her heist to steal a world treasure was betrayed from under her. 
When she's given the opportunity to trade one life of imprisonment for another, she takes it without hesitation. She'll need to join the not quite prince of a faraway kingdom and the Captain of his Guard to participate in a heist even she has no experience in. She doesn't care about the kingdoms or the rebellion the prince promises to bring, not anymore. 
She simply wants her freedom again. 

To win it, she must enter her old world of thieves and gangs, magic and murder. She'll need to befriend an empress she despises, survive an impossible heist twice over, and gather a crew she's not sure if she can trust anymore. 
But when shadows rot the land once again, and a promised evil begins to awaken, she must fight not just for her freedom but to desperately keep her world from being destroyed.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
