Thievery In The Shadows (Wattys 2016)

They say a thief steals by bidding their time for them to lower their guards before attacking.

But a true thief, goes out in the open. They never stays in one place for too long, but it is those who are daring that people should truly fear. For with one hand, they deceive their prey, and with the other, they bind them helplessly.

......................

The war had taken a great toll between the people of Vagelslan and Iłłernia. Dark days stood ahead of them even as the people suffered greatly at the hands of the Iłłernia king, and even more under the hands of these despicable soldiers.

But somewhere in between them all, one girl, a thief, suffered.

Her family? Gone in the ashes of a fire.
Her past? Nothing but thin air, where the memories still exists, somewhere in her cold heart.

And she, Emma, will find herself in the center of it all, where she will rise to take her place.

Who would have ever thought that one thief would be the answer to everything?
