A Thief’s Magic

Steal one artifact and clear all your debts.

A hundred-year-old vampire should have savings, but money has always slipped out of Luke’s hands. Luckily, some mage always wants to rip off someone else and he has a useful skill set: cat burglary.

His latest job will solve his current financial problems and get his head above water.

His life will become more than a survival test—with money, Luke might actually enjoy his undead existence for a change. Too bad the job goes sideways.

Magus Clint Ravenwing has spent the last three years in his tower in the middle of nowhere. After a betrayal, he isn’t eager to engage with the rest of the world.

But when an alarm goes off, Clint has to confront the intruder. No one should have been able to break into his solitude, especially not an uninvited vampire. A cute, bratty vampire.

When a second crew pulls off a heist at the same time, Luke sees an opportunity. Since he can’t complete the original job, he’ll appeal to the powerful magus to help him instead.

To do that, he has to gain Clint’s elusive trust. Will he win over the man he meant to rob, or will his charms fail him? Can Clint open his heart, or is it locked away like the treasures in his vault?
