Evelyn is a master thief, her alias—the Bird of Bordeaux—is whispered with awe and fear throughout the underworld of swindlers and assassins. When a shadowy figure known as the Reaper offers her the heist of a lifetime, she’s tempted to accept.

The target?

A relic of dark magic, sealed deep within the cursed tunnels beneath Paris.

The reward?

A fortune large enough to restore the Vineyard, the orphanage that raised her, and a chance to avenge her parents' murder.

The catch?

She won’t be working alone.

Her partner, Jaq, is as clever as he is infuriating. They don't trust each other and they don't need to. But as secrets unravel and an unexpected attraction flares between them, the job becomes far more complicated than Evelyn ever planned.

In the end, it's not the relic or the risk that haunts her, but the love she could've had—if she hadn't been prepared to betray him.
