'Growing up on Forge’s
streets has taught Kyra how to stretch a coin. And when that’s not
enough, her uncanny ability to scale walls and bypass guards helps her
take what she needs.
But when the leader of the Assassins Guild
offers Kyra a lucrative job, she hesitates. She knows how to get by on
her own, and she’s not sure she wants to play by his rules. But he’s
persistent—and darkly attractive—and Kyra can’t quite resist his pull.
Tristam
of Brancel is a young Palace knight on a mission. After his best friend
is brutally murdered by Demon Riders, a clan of vicious warriors who
ride bloodthirsty wildcats, Tristam vows to take them down. But as his
investigation deepens, he finds his efforts thwarted by a talented
thief, one who sneaks past Palace defenses with uncanny ease.
When
a fateful raid throws Kyra and Tristam together, the two enemies
realize that their best chance at survival—and vengeance—might be to
join forces. And as their loyalties are tested to the breaking point,
they learn a startling secret about Kyra’s past that threatens to
reshape both their lives.'
In her arresting debut novel, Livia
Blackburne creates a captivating world where intrigue prowls around
every corner—and danger is a way of life. - Goodreads
I don't know how I originally heard about this one but it went on my wishlist in October/November last year and I've been waiting ever since! To ease the suffering there is a prequel novella available now, Poison Dance, which I have for review. Anyway, it's fantasy and this year I'm determined to read more fantasy (both Adult and YA) and the synopsis for Midnight Thief intrigues me.
