When Keralie intercepts a comm disk coming from the House of Concord, what seems like a standard job goes horribly wrong. Ludia: the pleasure quarter that values celebration, passion, and entertainmentĪrchia: the agricultural quarter that values simplicity and natureĮonia: the futurist quarter that values technology, stoicism and harmonious community Toria: the intellectual quarter that values education and ambition Four queens rule together, one from each region: For in the nation of Quadara, each quarter is strictly divided 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 quarter. These are the words Keralie Corrington lives by as the preeminent dipper in the Concord, the central area uniting the four quadrants of Quadara.
I love getting lost in worlds that are nothing like real life-and if you do too, you’ll love this book about a magical nation and the four endangered rulers fighting to uphold the values of their people. Even in a world like Quadara, divided by its differences and core beliefs, Keralie discovers that it is love and sacrifice that truly matter.
This book is an epic fantasy with elements of science fiction, but at its core it’s about seeking truth and questioning long-held rules and traditions. Now Keralie, who’s always relied on her ability to lie to survive, must place her trust in the messenger she stole from in order to catch the culprit. But when she’s ordered to steal a comm chip that happens to contain a plot to kill the nation’s four queens, Keralie finds herself at odds with her employer-and running for her life. Throw in a petty thief, a nation divided by values, and queens who are hiding gossip-worthy secrets, and I’m hooked.Īfter a reckless mistake leaves her father fighting for his life, heartbroken Keralie turns to crime, serving as a master thief for a childhood friend. When it comes to books, there is nothing better than unexpected plot twists, good intentions gone wrong, and characters who are both flawed and charismatic.
