A cruelly abandoned good friend. Two thieves looking for answers. Riyria is born.

For over a year, Royce Melborn tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, who saved him and his partner, Hadrian Blackwater, from certain death. Since the thief failed to get the woman out of his mind, he returns to Medford with Hadrian, but this time they have a shocking reception - Gwen doesn't even want to see them. They intend to find out the reason for the mysterious refusal. Meanwhile, a secret conspiracy is brewing in the court against the royal family, which only two innocently involved little people can stand in its way. Events race unstoppably towards a dramatic conclusion that exacts a heavy price from all of them.
