Elizabeth West has spent her life proving she belongs. Now she has one night to prove it for good.

Elizabeth faces her final trial for the rank of master thief. All she has to do is evade a dozen guards, slip past blade traps and pressure plates, and crack a vault no guild thief has ever breached.

She’s trained for this, made the sacrifices. She knows she’s ready. But her mother’s shadow still hangs over her, a reminder of the life awaiting her should she fail.

The night of the job, everything goes to plan . . . until it doesn’t. When the alarm bells ring, the only thing left to test is what she does next.

Master Thief is a standalone heist tale set in the gas-lit city of Alchester, and the first of the Elizabeth West Capers.
