Nineteen-year-old Arabelle has spent years running-from her past, her pain, and the life she left behind.

After fleeing an abusive home at fifteen, she survives by her wits on the streets of Ashbourne, a struggling village in the kingdom of Bissette. Hunger drives her to steal an apple during Queen Cordelia's grand entry ceremony. But her escape is cut short by rearing horses and the queen herself. Bracing for punishment, Arabelle is stunned when the queen offers her compassion instead-a moment that changes the course of her life forever.

Drawn from the shadows of Ashbourne into the grandeur of Bissette's court, Arabelle uncovers secrets that could reshape the kingdom and expose buried truths about her own past. As new dangers arise and old wounds resurface, Arabelle must decide: will she stay hidden in the shadows, or step into the light and fight for the future she never dared to dream of?

A powerful tale of survival, destiny, and courage, The Thief and the Crown is perfect for readers who believe even the lost can rise again.
