Thieves beware when wizards go to war.
Rivah Half-Elven is a thief of the Court of the Masked King, the thieves' guild of the imperial city of Tar-Carmatheion.
With her debts paid off and a skilled crew at her back, Rivah is rising high in the Court.
But when an old acquaintance turns up dead on her doorstep, an ancient artifact of dark magic clutched in his hands, Rivah will need all her allies and cunning to survive.
Because dark magic is stirring that will not only destroy the Court of the Masked King, but all of Tar-Carmatheion.
