A bloodthirsty wannabe dictator, overreaching governments, magic rules, pirate crews, clifftop duels, and two women who may or may not be able to stop snarking each other long enough to handle it all. Here’s what happens when a thief and a noblewoman have to join forces.

Systemic magic elitism is on the rise and a murderous pirate is on an unchecked rampage. Victory over both hinges on a virtuous thief and a noblewoman vigilante working together long enough to see their mission through. It may be harder than it seems.

Thank you!! :)

Jadyn @jaystraigis.bsky.social · 11d

Aww I love this!! I’m already rooting for the main character :)
