About this listen

“Skovron's eye for characterization and situations is exceptional” in an action-packed fantasy novella that makes for a “compelling coming-of-age yarn” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Hope's old life ended the night her entire village was massacred by the emperor's forces. Now, trained in secret by a master warrior, her new life is centered on only one goal: vengeance.

Red lives by the skin of his teeth and sharpness of his wit. An expert thief and a brilliant con artist, he cares for only one thing: a good time. But when the empire's soldiers start to encroach on his territory, taking down his friends with it, he may have to re-prioritize.

Together, they will take down an empire.

“A fun beginning … . . promises to be a great series.” —Philadelphia Free Press

“Engaging … . . [Skovron's] skillfully developed world, filled with swords and magic, is a perfect foil for his dynamic characters.” —Library Journal

“Gripping and, most importantly, fun.” —SFX
