The fate of the kingdom rests in the hands of a thief.
A foreign emperor has kidnapped and imprisoned the kingdom of Janek’s royal tsar, leaving his throne ripe for the plucking. But seriously, who cares? Down in the village of Pithany, nineteen-year-old Amara Roke is more concerned with finding her little brother who’s gone missing.
Except her fevered search lands her behind bars, where she ends up sharing a prison cell with another inmate who draws her straight into the heart of the kingdom’s rebellion.
Turns out, our sharp-tongued orphan from Pithany might not be just a nobody brothel brat thief after all, but the magic-wielding key who will decide the future of the entire kingdom. And to accomplish such a feat, all Amara has to do is fall in love.
