Someone-or something-is killing Ostgard's thieves. An underworld queen, Myrrh now sits on the ruling council of Ghost syndicate. It's hard enough leading a rabble of miscreants and villains. But when thieves across the city start turning up dead and a disturbing stranger offers to help Myrrh solve the crimes, her job just gets tougher. And then there's Glint. He claims that their criminal rivalry means the end of their budding romance, so why does he keep showing up and distracting her? Add in a bounty on her head set by Noble, the boss of the gang Myrrh ousted to gain her new empire, and Myrrh's situation is about to go from difficult to impossible.
