Sancha Pilar is a thief down on her luck. She's penniless, jobless, crewless, and very, very much blacklisted in the criminal underworld. Stuck in Berlint without an ally to turn to or a heist to hatch, she grows needlessly bored. But things change when she learns an old Acquaintance - the Westalis Spy TWILIGHT - is in town. And here's something else - he is deep undercover.
As one of the few people aware of his identity that is still alive to tell the tale, Sancha blackmails Twilight into helping her, and for the sanctity of his cover, he complies. Inadvertently, she becomes involved with Twilight's scheme, Operation Strix, herself, eventually learning that a former funder and likely rat of the the criminal organization she formerly worked for is in town : Stanwin Blackbell, CEO of Blackbell Heavy industries. At night, she secretly resumes her heists and plots revenge against the Blackbells. During the day she babysits Anya, Twilight's-for-the-mission-fake-daughter. But as her scores grow bolder, her activity gains the attention of the State Security Service, causing Sancha to become embroiled with Yuri Briar, a secret police officer and also, conveniently, the brother of Twilight's for-the-mission-fake-wife.
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
