What if the only way to save a kingdom is by becoming the monster everyone fears?
Haunted by her sister’s death—and the magic that caused it—our unnamed thief lives in the shadows, stealing from the corrupt to ease her guilt. But when a dying noblewoman’s soul becomes bound to hers, she’s pulled into a deadly conspiracy threatening the entire realm.
To survive, she must infiltrate the royal college disguised as a lady of class and privilege. The mission? Expose a secret cabal before they unleash forbidden magic. Her unlikely allies? Four brooding noblemen, each as dangerous as they are desirable.
But secrets have a cost, and hers is monstrous.
Will she save the kingdom—or doom it?
Either way, her soul hangs in the balance.
