Lilith can't remember ever having a roof over her head, warm clothes, or enough food in her belly. So when Lord Graves offers those things in exchange for a simple theft, she happily takes the chance. She soon finds that the situation is far from simple and nothing is as it seems.
Lord Graves prides himself on his organization's ability to protect people from dangerous magic. So when he and his most trusted advisers are told that the fate of the world lies in the hands of a lone thief, they're more than skeptical. But it's not long before she starts to shatter their expectations.
As if training to use her magic against the encroaching threat wasn't hard enough; Now she must learn how to navigate the expectations of high society? Lilith almost wishes she'd stayed on the streets. Almost.
