If a door won't open, pick the lock.
Hitomi has watched for too long from the alleyways as her adopted homeland slowly suffocates in Archmage Blackflame's tightening hold. The only group in the island sultanate able to undermine him is an underground resistance known as the Shadow League, and they have little use for an orphan and street thief like Hitomi. But when she learns the Shadow League's leader has been arrested, Hitomi knows they'll need every trick she has up her sleeve to get him back—whether they like it or not.
A 25k word prequel novella featuring everyone’s favorite scrappy street thief as she earns her place in the Shadow League. Shadow Thief can be read before or after Sunbolt, as your heart desires. Buy now and set off on a fast-paced adventure featuring found family, traitors, and tea.
From Goodreads:
My Review:
Man, these were really fantastic reads! I love her writing, and it was so great to get into this world! Following Hitomi's story, in this world where she doesn't really belong, was so great! I was just cheering her on against everything that shew as facing!
The winding streets and narrow alleys of Karolene hide many secrets, and Hitomi is one of them. Orphaned at a young age, Hitomi has learned to hide her magical aptitude and who her parents really were. Most of all, she must conceal her role in the Shadow League, an underground movement working to undermine the powerful and corrupt Arch Mage Wilhelm Blackflame.
When the League gets word that Blackflame intends to detain—and execute—a leading political family, Hitomi volunteers to help the family escape. But there are more secrets at play than Hitomi's, and much worse fates than execution. Betrayed and captured along with her charges, it will take everything Hitomi can summon to save them--and herself.
Fans of Robin McKinley and Tamora Pierce will love this action-packed story of one girl fighting monsters both human and not. Pick up Sunbolt now and set off on a high-stakes adventure through the gorgeously diverse world of Intisar Khanani's Sunbolt Chronicles.
