Fox is a thief with morals - she steals from those who can afford it and only a little at that. She has no choice. Fox and her three closest companions were forced into indentured servitude to the Lady, a mysterious noble with widespread political power gained by questionable means, in order to pay off familial debts. While searching for an easy mark in town, Fox helps a handsome royal bodyguard fend off a would-be assassin''s attack on a prince''s life. But what started off as protecting the prince out of good conscience has now unwittingly embroiled this thief in a vast world of politics, high stakes, and romance. And though Fox longs to be free of her debts, she must decide if love is its own kind of cage.
