Summary |
"Lured by the promise of more money than they've ever dreamed of, five young criminals are hired to steal a treasure from the most powerful sorcerer in the city. There's Callan, the con artist; Meriel, the charming knife-thrower; Gareth, the scholar; Lachlan, who can obtain anything; and Foxtail, whose mysterious mask doesn't hinder her ability to climb the walls like a spider. Though their shadowy backgrounds mean that they've never trusted anyone, the five must learn to rely on one another to get the job done. But, as Callan has been warned, it's best to stay away from magic--it can turn on you at any moment. If the friends manage to pull off this legendary heist, will the reward be worth everything they've lost?"--Dust jacket. |
