Mary E. Pearson's Dance of Thieves is a new YA novel in the New
York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles universe, in which a reformed
thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits in a battle
that may cost them their lives--and their hearts.
When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes
its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw
family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms
on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the
target of the dynasty's resentment and anger.
At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the
queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When
Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she learns that
there is more to Jase than she thought. As unexpected events spiral out
of their control, bringing them intimately together, they continue to
play a cat and mouse game of false moves and motives in order to fulfill
their own secret missions.
