PRAISE FOR MARGARET OWEN

'Gorgeous prose, delicious magic' V.E. Schwab

'Breathtaking' Claire Legrand


Folk hero. Defender against injustice . . .
Murderer?

Vanja has brought down the cult she started, but she's still paying the price. As the Pfennigeist, she bucks the law to help the desperate and haunt the corrupt - and no matter what, she works alone.

But when an impossible killer starts leaving Vanja's signature red penny on their royal victims, suddenly the Pfennigeist is more nightmare than hero. To clear her name, Vanja must wade into royalty's vicious games - and confront the Order of Prefects' sharpest official, Journeyman Prefect Emeric Conrad, the man whose heart she broke.

With bloody conspiracy, sinister magic, and old adversaries closing in, Vanja and Emeric must work together one last time to have any chance of surviving the deadly catastrophe on the horizon.

In this thrilling final chapter of the Little Thieves series, Vanja must face the pain and beauty of choosing which demons to battle, and which to forgive.
