The Burglar And The Prince

by S. Rachel

Erika, a burglar has been caught in one of her burglaries. Except instead of the city guard, it's an old scheming Lord whose men capture her. And instead of the dungeon she is expecting, she is taken to the seat of the government and treated as an esteemed guest. The old Lord wants her to impersonate a young lady from a noble family and steal something for him. In return, he wouldn't disclose her secret and help her maintain it. She agreed easily as the life of a noble was a luxurious life she had never known, only seen from afar. She just hadn't known that stealing something would be so difficult, bordering on the impossible.

[Jane Brooke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Erika, the protagonist gets thrown into situation after situation. She keeps on trying to find a way out of them and somehow manages to entangle herself further into other different plots going on simultaneously around her.

A fast read. And funny. Oh, and I loved the magic system.
