Rogue's Gambit
About this ebook
“How?”
“We do what a thief does best—rob them of everything they have.”
When Kaila Dwyn discovered her Gift, everything was taken from her: her father, her home, her faith. Hunted by the very heroes she once worshiped, Kaila had no choice but to join the Elysian. But the power of the Magisterium is absolute, and the ancient enemies of humanity can do little to prevent their inevitable slide towards extinction.
Some still fight. Elysian thieves, hidden amongst the underground of Tah’raus, they find their own small ways to resist. Kaila delights in taking what revenge she can against those who destroyed her life. But it’s not enough—until the crime lord Ambrose Braider hatches a plan to steal the Aegis. It is the most powerful artefact in the Magisterium’s possession. Without it, their hold over the world will crumble. Can Kaila and her ragtag group of friends pull off the heist of the century and steal it back—or will their reckless gamble doom the Elysian rebellion forever?
Journey into the epic world of the Magisterium and meet Kaila Dwyn, a heroine thrust into a battle for freedom and survival. From the awakening of her forbidden magic to a daring heist, this sword and sorcery fantasy weaves romance, rebellion, and heart-pounding action. Can Kaila and her allies defy the might of the Magisterium, reclaim an ancient artifact that could save their world, and ignite hope in a centuries old war against her people?
