In the shadows of Cerbias, a wild thief learns that some secrets can’t stay buried forever. Raised in the back alleys and rooftops of Cerbias, Veiwyn has always lived fast, fought hard, and stolen even harder. Under the guidance of Atlas —a war-scarred master thief who became the only father she’s ever known—she’s carved out a life of freedom and danger. Together they rule The Den , a secret network of thieves where coin flows, loyalties shift, and survival means everything. But when an old friend comes seeking Atlas’s help, whispering of strange magic and a spreading darkness in BlackStone , everything begins to change. What starts as another job quickly unravels into something far greater—something that feels hauntingly familiar to Atlas…and dangerously personal to Veiwyn. As secrets long buried begin to surface, Veiwyn finds herself torn between loyalty and desire, between the man who raised her and the truth about who she really is. Power comes knocking, relationships ignite and fracture, and destiny sharpens her claws. In a world where every secret has a price, love and betrayal are often bought with the same coin. Fans of Fourth Wing , Throne of Glass , and From Blood and Ash will be captivated by BlackStone —a sweeping romantic fantasy of thieves, power, and forbidden magic that marks the beginning of an unforgettable saga.
