Publisher Description
An exceptional thief…
Kyra specializes in nighttime raids, using her sharp senses and uncanny agility to plunder Forge’s wealthiest homes. Then she meets James, the deadly but intriguing Head of the Assassin’s Guild. He has a job for Kyra: infiltrate the impenetrable Palace compound. The pay is good, and the challenge appealing.
But as Kyra establishes herself in the Guild, things start to unravel. Her assignments become increasingly violent, demanding more than Kyra is willing to give. And as she grows closer to the darkly attractive James, she can’t shake the feeling that his plans run deeper than he claims.
A knight sworn to vengeance…
When Tristam’s best friend is killed by Demon Riders—barbarians riding vicious wildcats—he vows to defeat them. The young knight throws himself into his quest, only to find his efforts thwarted by a mysterious and very talented thief.
When a twist of fate throws Kyra and Tristam together, they realize that Forge faces greater dangers than either of them had imagined. They must make a choice: continue to fight each other, or work together to unravel the truth. Then, as sinister forces close in, Kyra and Tristam discover a shocking secret that will change their lives forever.

Feisty Female Fantasy
Kyra is the ‘midnight thief’, a character who can scale any building and break in with such stealth as to pass un-noticed. This brings her to the attention of the “Assassins Guild”, a group of criminals, led by James, who is in league with a barbarian shape-shifting force to overthrow the Palace which rules their world. Kyra is a foundling, unaware of her antecedents, loyal to her street urchin friends, drawn both to the rebel James and to Tristram, a palace Knight. In the course of events Kyra is caught between the opposing forces of Palace, Barbarians, Assassins and Friends, unsure where her loyalty or alliance should lie, as she begins to discover her heritage and the source of her unusual abilities. This kept me gripped and interested - now I need to read the others books in the series.
