Discover the masterfully crafted Dance of Thieves YA fantasy duology.
Set in the world of the bestselling series, The Remnant Chronicles, Dance of Thieves is a YA fantasy duology that follows a reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty as they face off in a dangerous battle where their lives and hearts are on the line.
When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, but a new era looms, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger.
Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she soon learns that there is more to Jase than she thought.
As events spiral out of their control and circumstance pushes them closer together, Kazi and Jase find themselves captured in a tangled web of deceit woven by their greatest enemies and unlikeliest allies. Trapped in a world where betrayals run deeper and more deadly than either had thought possible, and where timeless ambitions threaten to destroy them both.
