The Thief King's Heart

Basileia has never lost a fight. Goddess-blessed and trained to lead her Thracian clan, she is passed over when her mother names her sister heir instead.

Determined to change that choice, she enters a lethal tournament in a hidden desert city for a diviner stone that can answer any question.

Brutal races and bloody combat throw her together with Zain, the roguish king of thieves, whose offered help is as hard to trust as the attraction growing between them.

After he betrays her, Basileia—furious but unbroken—is driven deep into the deadly Wastelands, where gods meddle in mortal lives and monsters guard a weapon that could save or destroy everything.

Survival may depend on giving Zain a second chance he has not earned.
