Multi-award-winning author Fran Wilde blends fantastic glamour with gritty fantasy in this techno-thriller heist about capitalism and climate on a futuristic Earth, for fans of Leverage, Parasite, and Six of Crows.
The Canarviers are the premier performance thieves in New Washington, blending astonishing acrobatics, clever misdirection, and daring escapes to entertain their rich patrons. As King Canarvier has always told his children, their work is art. Who else could titillate audiences with illicit history lessons and tease them through the gaps in their much-prized security?
Now that they're adults, King's children feel their divisions more than their bonds. Roosa attends an exclusive finishing university, blending in so well she's unsure where she belongs. Her brother Dax craves a chance to prove himself, stifling under his father's caution.
Then King disappears.
With only days to buy mercy before their father is lost forever, Roo and Dax must compete in a high-stakes Grand Heist, pushing down their resentments to work together. Against a technocrat wagering more than he can lose, a security chief with a taste for pain, and a society beauty with secrets of her own, any misstep promises catastrophic ruin.
But Canarviers are artists. And they perform best when the pressure is on ...
Remarkably imaginative and fun!--Shannon Chakraborty, New York Times bestselling author of The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi
