\"\"Aristene are an order of mythical female warriors. Though heroes might be immortalized in legends, it\u2019s the Aristene who guide their paths to victory. They are the Heromakers.<\/p>\n

Raised by the order after being orphaned, Reed grew up surrounded by her future sisters-in-arms and the incredible stories of their quests. She\u2019s been counting the days until her initiation, and now one final test stands in her way: shepherding her first hero to glory on the battlefield. Succeed, and her place in the order is secured. Fail, and she\u2019ll be cast out of the only home she\u2019s ever known.<\/p>\n

But Reed didn\u2019t count on Hestion, her assigned hero, being both infuriating and intriguing. When their strategic alliance turns into something more, it forces Reed to question the cost of becoming an Aristene. As battle looms and fate hangs in the balance, Reed must make an impossible choice: her hero or her order.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn enthralling tale of fierce warriors, devastating betrayal, and an aching romance.\u201d\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0Suzanne Young,\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author of The Program series<\/h3>\n

\"\"At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. Until her plan to run away from her legendary family of thieves takes an unexpected turn, leaving her mother\u2019s life hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

In a desperate bid, she enters the Thieves\u2019 Gambit, a series of dangerous, international heists where killing the competition isn\u2019t exactly off limits, but the grand prize is a wish for anything in the world\u2014a wish that could save her mom. When she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a handsome, smooth-talking guy who might also want to steal her heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined.<\/p>\n

Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn\u2019t Quest. But with the stakes this high, Ross will have to decide who to con and who to trust before time runs out. After all, only one of them can win.<\/p>\n

\u201cA propulsive, high-octane thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Full of breathtaking heists, complex relationships, high-stakes tension, and characters I would follow anywhere,\u00a0Thieves\u2019 Gambit<\/em>\u00a0gripped me from the first page, and never let go. You won\u2019t want to stop reading.\u201d \u2014Alex Aster, #1\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0best selling author of\u00a0Lightlark<\/em><\/h3>\n
