Blight of Gold

By: Laspe, Susan

Rules of Thievery Number Ten: Don't rob the nicest places if you like having your freedom.

A talented thief, Cecily knows the ins and outs of stealing: don't dilly dally and don't get caught. But when you've got to pick a pocket or two for a living, eventually a routine mission can go awry. Including accidentally cursing not only the kingdom, but the prince

When her next heist takes her to the palace, a strange little man offers to help-for a price. But her actions come at a great cost. For where handsome princes and gold are involved, trouble is bound to follow. And Cecily's gotten herself caught up in the middle of it.

Having returned from military school, Prince Julian is settling into his royal duties when a fateful encounter with a witty thief leaves his health-and heart-reeling. Not only must he deal with a looming war, but what she stole could lead the kingdom, and his very life, to destruction.

Despite their differences and begrudging attraction to one another, they will have to work together to stop the sinister evil creeping into their land. But can a thief and a prince prevent the kingdom from ruin, or will the lies and looming war plunge everything into eternal darkness?
