Myrrh is an up-and-coming freelance thief who's lost the only true friend she's ever known. The city guards finally captured her mentor, an aging rogue and the closest thing she had to a family. He's dead now. She'll be next if she doesn't figure out who betrayed him. As she begins her search, she's double-crossed by a fellow freelancer and sold out to a shadowy new crime syndicate. With a sack over her head and wrists tightly bound, she's delivered to the lair of the syndicate's boss, a man named Glint. Certain he intends to kill her, Myrrh is surprised to learn that he has other plans. An unrepentant scoundrel, Glint is as charismatic as he is complex. And he has information about her mentor's disappearance that will upend everything she thought she knew about the city's underworld.
