Book Overview

Promise of Freedom, Chained by Duty

Oliver Autumnsworn has danced along the razor's edge of danger his entire life, slipping through the shadows with the agility of a ghost. Whether as a mischievous cabin boy, a fearsome pirate captain, or a notorious international thief, he has embraced a world of crime. But now, one last heist promises him the ultimate prize: freedom from a lifetime of darkness. His task? To snatch an unlisted artifact from a high-stakes auction.

Enter Maizie Galanos, the sharp-witted Interpol Agent known for her relentless pursuit of justice. Overlooked for accolades and promotions, she has devoted her career to unraveling the elusive patterns of one thief in particular: Oliver Autumnsworn. At last, she has him within reach-only for him to execute a breathtaking heist, spiriting away an artifact of unimaginable power.

Unbeknownst to both, this artifact is coveted not just by Oliver's enigmatic employer but also by celestial beings seeking to reclaim their lost dominion. Suddenly, Oliver and Maizie are thrust into a hidden realm of divine intrigue, forced to flee from angels who would devastate humanity if the artifact falls into their hands. Together, they must race against time to return the artifact, navigating a treacherous path to prevent an apocalyptic clash between Heaven and Earth.
