He needs his best thief back.

Heron, a master criminal, has the unique ability to hear the voices of dragons. He’s made it his life's mission to rescue them from captivity, and now he’s preparing for the biggest heist of them all—to steal the King of Veriton’s own horde. He’s assembled his crew: a lonely knight who’s convinced Heron is the messiah, a runaway noble lady harbouring all the castle’s secrets and an ecologically minded farmer who knows everything about animals. But he needs one more person.

She wants nothing to do with the criminal who cost her everything.

Lockpicker Kit has sworn off organized crime, no matter how much Heron, her former best friend, begs for her return. He’s the reason she’s grieving, the reason she’s plagued by nightmares. But when the king’s spymaster shows up with a deal she can’t refuse, at the price of betraying Heron, Kit finds herself back beside the man who ruined her life. Only, he’s not quite the villain she remembers . . .

The dragons are calling.

Soon, Heron and Kit are embroiled in a quest that eclipses their past, and as the mission escalates, alliances are formed and fractured, and romantic connections blossom. Between deep-rooted hatred, intense yearning and rising stakes, the crew must work together to pull off a heist bigger than fate.

But what will be left when the flames die down?
