Dangerous Nights with the Demon Queen

SynopsisIn the underground kingdom of Emberdeep, where demons rule beneath an ancient mountain and every heartbeat can be heard, Thaddeus Vance has built his reputation as the greatest thief in the Three Kingdoms. Known as the Whisper of the Roads, he has never been caught, never spilled blood, and never failed a professional job. Then he receives an impossible assignment: steal the Cinder Crown from Lilith Ravenscourt, the immortal Demon Queen of Crownfell.
The crown is not merely a symbol of power. It is bound to the Queen herself, and removing it may be impossible without her cooperation. To accomplish the theft, Thaddeus must infiltrate the most dangerous demonic court in existence, disguise himself as a humble apprentice scribe, and uncover the secrets hidden behind the Queen's throne. But the closer he gets to Lilith, the more he realizes that she is not the monster the legends describe.
Beneath her terrifying power is a lonely ruler trapped by her crown, surrounded by political enemies, conspiracies, and demons waiting for the slightest opportunity to destroy her. When the thief discovers that the greatest treasure in Crownfell may not be the Cinder Crown at all, his mission changes completely. What begins as the most dangerous theft of his career becomes a struggle involving loyalty, freedom, power, trust, and the fragile connection between a mortal thief and a Demon Queen who has spent centuries unable to escape her own throne.
To steal the crown, Thaddeus may first have to steal the Queen herself-from the kingdom that refuses to let her go.
