The Mark of Thieves

Will Wardrew—charming, quick-witted, and brash—uses his wiles to steal for his brother’s gang, Iustitia Aecum. Time and again, chance brings him face-to-face with Bree, an IA thief who guards her heart as closely as her secrets. Aiming to prove his worth, Will steals a message meant for IA’s leader, which lands him in the clutches of Baden Hatchett, the relentless police officer determined to bring IA to its knees. Meanwhile, down-on-her-luck Bree dreams of a new beginning, hoping to lay the ghosts of her past to rest.

​

Caught after a risky job and forced to confront her past, Bree faces a terrible choice: betray Will to win her freedom, or face a lifetime of imprisonment. But how can she double-cross the boy who saved her life?

​

While IA’s inner circle seeks a way to save Will—and themselves—before it’s too late, Will is determined to protect his friends, even if it sends him to his grave. As he and Bree grow ever closer, the lines between friend and foe begin to blur. Will must decide who he can trust . . . and Bree must decide where her loyalty lies once and for all. Can they rewrite the stories fate has in store—together?
