A new romantasy, following a thief whose dramatic encounter with an assassin and a crown bodyguard (who happens to be a royal in disguise) launches her into a world of swirling palace intrigue, from New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill
Fox is a thief with morals—she steals from those who can afford it and only a little at that. She has no choice. Fox and her closest companion are indentured servants to a wealthy noble in the stronghold. Unable to pay off their familial debts with the work they’re given, they steal in the hopes of one day being free—truly free. While searching for an easy mark in town, Fox helps a royal bodyguard fend off a would-be assassin’s attack on a prince’s life.
But what started off as protecting the prince out of good conscience has now unwittingly embroiled this thief in a vast world of politics, high stakes, and romance. And though Fox longs to be rid of her debts, she must decide if love is its own kind of cage.
