Synopsis

Service at the Red Rooster Inn isn't what you'd call "good," or even "adequate." Darin would be the first to say so, and he owns the place. Evie isn't much of a barmaid; Kat's home brewed ale seems to grow less palatable with each new batch; and Seraphina's service at the bar leaves much to be desired. As for the bouncer, Big Tom, well, everyone learns right quick to stay on his good side.

They may be bad at running an inn, but they're the best team of con artists in the Old Queendom. When a prospective client approaches Darin with a high-paying job, he knows he should refuse. But the job is boosting a shipment of priceless imperial dream wine, the most coveted and expensive drink in the world. And, thanks to a stretch of bad luck, he's in deep to The Dame, who oversees criminal enterprises in this part of the Queendom.

If they fail, they're as good as dead, but if they succeed . . . well, it's enough money to get square with the Dame and make all of their dreams come true. Plus, it's an option for Darin to stick it to the empress, who he has good reason to despise.

Then again, there's a very good reason no one has ever stolen imperial dream wine . . .

Contains mature themes.

It's been ages since I read a heist fantasy. That's why I immediately hit the request button when I saw the book on NetGalley. The cover looked cool. The plot sounded even cooler.

Goodreads review by Rachel (TheShadesofOrange) on August 27, 2022

3.5 stars I love heist stories! So naturally I was very interested to check out this one. This was an enjoyable, multi POV narrative that hit many of my favourite tropes of the genre. I enjoyed the humour, primarily coming from the snarky banter between the characters. As far as heist stories go, thi......more

Goodreads review by Athena on July 21, 2022

I knew I was going to finish all of these books at once! This is a fun heist with minimal actual fantasy elements. I liked the metallurgy talent but the author could have done a lot more with it. It seems like there are at least one or two other magical abilities in the kingdom that could have been e......more
