She’s the key to the deadly tomb that can save his people. He’s the fae prince promising her the ultimate treasure—but only if she binds her soul to his own.
In a kingdom where magic equals power, Cynthia raids deadly tombs to feed her family. She would risk almost anything for them—just not her freedom. But when a raid goes wrong, she barely escapes with her life.
Desperate for another chance at fortune, she enters a soul-binding bargain with the brooding fae prince of a fallen kingdom: break into a king’s cursed tomb for the heist of a lifetime.
What Cynthia doesn’t know is that her frustratingly handsome boss is a ruthless necromancer. Crossing him will cost her life.
As Cynthia is drawn into a cunning guild of thieves, she realizes the tomb isn’t her greatest threat—her allies are. Betrayal festers within the guild, and she must decide what’s deadlier: the dangerous relic the prince desires, or the irresistible pull between them.
A THIEF AMONG FAE is the start to a slow-burn fantasy romance series by author Maddy Calder, packed with sword fights, perilous adventures, and a dash of necromancy.
