Pearson — a gripping paperback edition perfect for teens, book clubs, and fantasy lovers who crave tense politics, slow-burn romance, and daring outlaw intrigue. This BRAND NEW paperback edition (ISBN: 9781399710428) is an immersive entry in a powerful children’s series by an award-winning, bestselling author. Set in a vividly imagined world where empires rise and outlaw families rule by their own code, Dance of Thieves follows two fiercely independent protagonists locked in a dangerous dance of suspicion and attraction. When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son Jase inherits a legacy of power and fear — a dynasty that keeps neighboring kingdoms in check. A young queen — bold and reform-minded — becomes the lightning rod for the Ballengers’ fury and the catalyst for a new era of conflict. Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is dispatched by the queen to investigate threats to the fledgling settlements. Her mission draws her to the forbidding territory of the Ballengers, where she discovers that Jase is far more complicated than the rumors claim. As events spiral and alliances shift, the two engage in a cat-and-mouse game of false moves and hidden motives — each hiding secret missions while inching toward unexpected intimacy.
