Keralie Corrington is a talented pickpocket in the kingdom of Quadara.
But with Keralie and Varin each keeping secrets-and the lives of the Queens hanging in the balance-everything is at stake, and no one can be trusted..
Hoping that discovering the intended recipient will reveal the culprit-valuable information that she can barter with-Keralie teams up with Varin Bollt, the messenger she stole from, to complete his delivery and uncover the would-be murderer.
Keralie discovers she\'s intercepted instructions to murder the queens.
When on Mackiel\'s orders Keralie steals a particularly valuable item from a messenger, what seems like a routine theft goes horribly wrong.
Four queens, one from each quadrant, rule as one.
Eonia, the futurist quadrant values technology, stoicism and harmonious community.
Archia, the agricultural quadrant, values simplicity and nature.
Ludia, the pleasure quadrant values celebration and passion.
Toria, the intellectual quadrant values education and ambition.
For Quadara is a nation divided into Four regions, each strictly separated from the other.
She steals under the guidance of her mentor Mackiel, who runs a black market selling their bounty to buyers desperate for what they can\'t get in their own quadrant.
