Thief of Sparks: 1 (Starside Saga)

She thought she was stealing gold to save her brother . . . instead she steals a key that will unlock her destiny. Im not the best thief who ever ran the rooftops of Starside. My brother is. Or was. But hes sick and we need coin. Now its up to me. I wont lie and say I dont love hunting down drunken noblemen as they wander home from their late-night revelries. I do love it. I try not to hurt them. Not too badly anyway. And they can spare the coin. But lately somethings changed. The dizziness has started and Im seeing the glow . . . the magic power called the mercus. It lets me see metal even when its hidden under cloaks or inside pockets. What a wonderful power for a thief. If only I could control it. But my awakening to this magic has awakened that other mind. The one thats been touching mine. Its been talking to me. Its been trying to command me to come to it. I wont lie. Im afraid. But thats nothing new. In my sixteen years Ive gotten good at being afraid. I know how to use that feeling. I know how to turn it against my enemies. Those who say Im the prophesied one? Theyre all fools. Heres my prophecy for them: hold your coin purse tight tonight. Im coming for it. I am Kila Sigh. And Starside is MY city. Fans of fantasy will fall in love with this world of thieves magic and adventure. This novel is the starting point for the epic Starside Saga.
