Escape into a rich fantasy world with deadly secrets, thrilling love interests, and a brilliant, morally gray lead with this award-winning indie debut. Binge the complete trilogy today!

Half-human teen thief Neva has always had to hide her true nature. Indebted to a crime lord, she's taken on risky jobs — alone — to try to make a name for herself.

But when a heist goes bad, the spell holding her powers at bay is shattered and her world is turned upside down. She can either risk the safety of those she cares about, or seek out her mother's people to gain control over her emerging powers.

Under the protection of an austere guardian, she travels to the secret enclave, where she finds new enemies and new friends. But the supernatural warriors are feared for a reason, and she quickly finds herself caught between them amid a long-running feud.

Will she be able to embrace who she truly is in time to save her family?

Writing YA, it’s super important to me to have a balance of adventure, romance, and politics.
