But though her late night thievery poses constant danger, her greatest fear is the reveal of her past identity. Because Razia was once the crown prince of a nearby kingdom. She escaped her hateful father to live life as a women, as her true self, on her own terms. When a new client, an influential prince himself, takes a great interest in her, Razia is thrust again into royal politics and conflict.
