By Hook & Crook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991599511)

Lars Harrow thrives in Azoria, where dynamo-powered innovation fuels the dazzling spectacle of sanctioned heists. As one of the city's most celebrated thieves, he's turned daring thefts into electrifying performances. Yet beneath the thrill of each score, a restless ambition burns-Lars dreams of pulling off a heist so audacious it will change the game forever and make him the master of his own destiny.

His chance comes when a mysterious patron offers him the key to infiltrating the secret warehouse of Cecil Thume, the ruthless mastermind who profits from every heist in Azoria. As Lars chases the promise of new technology that could rewrite the city's future, a brutal murder sends a clear message: Thume will stop at nothing to protect his secrets.

Navigating a labyrinth of intrigue, double-crosses, and the risk of betraying everything he holds dear, Lars discovers Thume's influence runs far deeper than he ever imagined. With each daring move, he gambles not just with Azoria's fate but with his own humanity.
