When assassins go to war, thieves scramble to survive.
Rivah Half-Elven is a master thief of the Court of the Masked King, the thieves' guild of the city of Tar-Carmatheion.
But the city has other guilds that operate in the shadows, and one of them is the Petitioners' Guild, a brotherhood of deadly assassins.
When the Petitioners go to war with their ancient foes, Rivah and the entire Court find themselves caught between two powerful enemies.
And unless Rivah pulls off a dangerous theft, she will be the first to die in the shadow war...
