Mercury's Thief
Theo has always been a survivor. Living in the shadows of a decaying city, he steals to keep himself and his younger sister, Ellie, alive-dodging beatings, threats, and the ever-watchful eyes of the black market's worst. He knows the streets, knows how to pick his targets, and most importantly, knows when to run. But when a routine pickpocketing job goes disastrously wrong, Theo doesn't just steal a wallet-he steals a god's coin. And with it, he steals the attention of the wrong people. Now bound to Hermes-yes, that Hermes, the god of thieves, now trapped in a coin-Theo finds himself hunted by a shadowy underground force. The men in suits? Not just bodyguards. The powder hidden in the stolen pocket watch? Not just drugs. Someone has found a way to break gods apart and turn their divinity into a powerful, addictive substance. With cartel enforcers, rival thieves, and ancient forces closing in, Theo does the only thing he can-he fights back. What they find? Terrifying. Because gods don't rule anymore. They're hunted, harvested, and sold. And someone-or something-is pulling the strings behind it all. If Theo to survive, he'll need to uncover the truth before they become the next pieces on the board.
