Jorran, the cunning elder, and Aelis, his audacious sister, are no strangers to the thrill of thievery. Their world of pickpocketing and night-time heists takes a perilous turn when a seemingly simple mark reveals itself as a princeling, leading to their capture and a sentence of death. In a twist of fate, their execution is halted by the princeling, who recognizes their potential as tools in a grander scheme.
The siblings are coerced into a perilous mission: to steal coveted jewels from a prince of Gavendia. Little do they know, their target and their captor share a bond deeper than rivalry, turning their quest into a mere plaything for royal amusement. But Jorran and Aelis are not to be underestimated. In a daring gamble, they plan to outwit the princelings, seize the treasure for themselves, and escape into a future where their cunning could make them legends.
Amidst a world of royal whims and dangerous liaisons, will the siblings emerge as master thieves or find themselves ensnared in a game far beyond their control? The Silent Heist is a tale of cunning, betrayal, and the unbreakable bond of blood, inviting you into a world where even a simple heist can unravel empires.
