Ket the Red, greatest thief in all of Telan, knew one thing for certain: you didn’t mess with jewelers.
Not once, not ever. Steal from a jeweler, you were liable to find your throat cut.
But starvation and desperation forced his hand, and Ket took one stupid job, hoping it would be an easy score.
Unfortunately, nothing’s easy for the city’s greatest thief.
Now his life’s in danger and everyone he cares about might end up dead or worse. Unless he can do something to stop the Shiv gang from coming for his home, Ket the Red might not last the night.
A good story, but very saddened to lose Ma. It's a brutal, take no prisoners world Ket lives in, so I suppose I should have expected some extreme disappointment. She was the character of the story that you could really admire.
