Sinister sorcery. Gallows humor. A queer romance so glorious it could be right out of fae legend itself.

With the heist and intrigue of Six of Crows and the dark fairy-tale feel of The Cruel Prince, this YA fantasy debut is a spellbinding read sure to enthrall any reader.

“You are Rags the Thief.” Shining Talon paused with one hand on the windowsill, one leg already outside. “Do you not flout authority with your very vocation?”

Rags is a streetwise thief who prides himself on his quick fingers. Until he’s caught by the Queensguard and forced to find an ancient fae relic for a sadistic royal sorcerer.

But Rags could never have guessed this “relic” would actually be a fae himself—a distractingly handsome, annoyingly perfect ancient fae prince called Shining Talon. Good thing Rags can think on his toes, because things just get stranger from there...

Unique and utterly gripping, this charmingly roguish and darkly humorous young adult fantasy debut from authors Jaida Jones and Dani Bennett will have readers rooting for this pair of reluctant heroes as they take on a world-ending fae prophecy, a malicious royal plot, and, most dangerously of all, their feelings for each other.
