Thick as Thieves: Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798878208796)

Vera Valenledge learned early on that your closest friends are the most likely to stab you in the back. Or to stab your father. Since that tragic day that shattered a friendship and a kingdom, Vera has been hunting down the boy she knew as Jasper Haddin-the man now known as Nox the Kingkiller. After five long years of ridicule, this is the night she finally takes him down.

Jasper Haddin isn't after forgiveness. He knows he's too far gone to be saved. But he has a comforting stash of nostalgia, an old promise to keep, and a reliable team behind him. Together, the thieves will stop at nothing to impart their own sense of justice, even if it means a death sentence for all of them. And if the Mirror is right, death is much closer than either Vera or Jasper think.

Technology and magic clash when the heir to the throne is thrown together with her father's killer and his eccentric gang to fight a greater evil than she could have imagined. The streets of Caddelinn will quake as they race against the clock to save the very heart of the capital. No one said it would be easy to become the fairest. Or to make new friends.
