The Steelborn Saga Book 1

Reya is a notorious thief known as the Crimson Dagger. She is sent on one last job. Only it happens to be a magic-born Sage woman. She may be a thief, but she isn't into dealing with people's lives. Now she has to pay off an enormous debt with a tight timeline. If she is unable to her boss will go after her brothers. With no other options, she must take a job that is more fairy tale than real, from Caelan an immortal warrior. Will she be able to pull it off in time?

This is the first book in the Steelborn Saga. Reya is brilliant with plans on top of plans. Caelan may be stoic and single-minded but learns that he must bend. With a world that I dark and dirty with prejudice towards magic born. The magic system of this world is well thought out. This story had me turning the page to see what was going to happen next. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

“Never run. Never bow. Never die.

Reya Connery became the Crimson Dagger, the most notorious thief in Rhiterra, by following a strict set of rules. One: There is no honor among thieves. Two: A good blade is key to any negotiation. Three: Only the dead keep secrets. And Reya has a secret that must be kept at all costs. But when a heist goes wrong on the eve of paying off her debt to a ruthless crime lord, Reya may need a new set of rules. And lots of coin. Fast.

Enter Caelan Halcyon, an immortal warrior whose magic makes him a valuable target—if the curse inching closer to his heart doesn't kill him first. There's just one person who might be desperate enough to try and get their hands on the fabled cure in time to save his life, someone whose legend claims they can steal anything: the Crimson Dagger. A male of honor, Caelan loathes everything the beautiful, cocky thief represents, yet knows that Reya is his last hope for survival.

Their search takes them to the edge of the known world, where Reya discovers that there is far more at stake than her and Caelan’s own lives. Now, Reya must confront deadly foes, her growing attraction to the immortal who is as lethal as his jawline is perfect, and the rage she's spent a lifetime trying to bury. This time, her daggers aren’t going to cut it, and the fate of all magic-born hangs in the balance.”
