A treasure so dangerous that a war is being fought over it. A treasure so alluring, one would kill for it. When Xavier Verdon steals the necklace of Tashyrn, he finds himself tangled in a conflict going beyond his life as a petty orphan thief - he becomes part of a war of nations. With assassins sent to kill him and treachery on every side, who will he trust? How will he protect the necklace...and his life? In this game of cat and mouse, every shadow hides secrets...and the only ones lurking behind the shadows are the dead.
