Synopsis

A reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty are drawn into a dangerous contest of wits, with high personal stakes. After the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son Jase takes control of a family whose influence is strong enough that even nearby kingdoms bow to them, and who have long lived by their own rules.

As a new era begins under a young queen, the dynasty’s resentment makes her a target. The queen sends Kazi, a former street thief with a legendary reputation, to investigate transgressions against new settlements. Arriving in the Ballengers’ forbidding land, Kazi finds Jase is not what she expected, and as events escalate beyond their control, the pair continue a tense game of false moves and motives while pursuing secret missions.
