Natural Outlaws and Fractured Sovereignty - Paperback

A precarious royal court. Two thieves with everything to lose.

Caught robbing the Governor's mansion, Blythe is given a choice: steal the crown jewel of Ostrait's greatest enemy, or her papa and friends all die. Forced undercover as a candidate in the Fletch King's marital competition, she must survive the cut-throat court under the watchful eye of the Governor's pet assassin. But how much of herself will this mission cost her?

Kalen got her into this mess. And now they must keep their head down in the servants' quarters, enduring their new superior's brutality and confronted with the terrors of their past. It's no longer as simple as crafting bombs and letting the fire do the work-there's nowhere left to run, and his real talent seems to lie in screwing everything up.

Can a martyr learn what it means to live? Can a coward learn what it means to fight?

They're only a pair of outcasts. Failures. Will the cruelties of court tear their friendship apart? Or can they salvage a future together in a world that doesn't want them?
