Synopsis:
Magic rules the city of Creije Capital and Tavia Syn knows just how many tricks she needs up her sleeve to survive. Selling dark magic on the streets for her kingpin, she keeps clear of other crooks, counting the days until her debt is paid and she can flee her criminal life.
But then, one day, with her freedom in sight, Tavia uncovers a sinister plot that threatens to destroy the realm she calls home. Desperate to put an end to her kingpin's plan, Tavia forms an unlikely alliance with three crooks even more deadly than her:
Wesley, the kingpin's prodigy and most renewed criminal in the realm
Karam, an underground fighter with a penchant for killing first and forgetting to ask questions
And Saxony, a Crafter in hiding who will stop at nothing to avenge her family
With the reluctant saviours assembled, they embark on a quest to put an end to the dark magic before it's too late. But even if they can take down the kingpin and save the realm, the one thing they can't do is trust each other.
Review:
Tavia, Wesley, Karam and Saxony all come from different backgrounds however all of them are crooks and all of them will have to work together to save the realm in which they live. As they set out with a mostly formed plan will they be able to defeat the Kingpin? And more importantly if they do will they all make it to the end?
Tavia was my favourite character, she has such an interesting perspective on everything and I love how sassy and capable she is. Wesley was quite cool and aloof but I found his inner thoughts really interesting and I hope that is explored more in the next book too. Karam and Saxony were both also engaging characters, I loved how sweet Karam could be despite being the teams badass, and Saxony's kin will be fun to explore more. I found the book great from the get go, I loved the world building and the things we discover as we read. That cliffhanger was a killer though!
Overall I really enjoyed this book, I did find a lot happened in the last few chapters and it felt a little rushed but it didn't detract from my enjoyment at all.
