  Summary

  She’s just a thief. Quick hands, quiet steps, and instincts too sharp to be natural. The Jedi are a distant dream, shining and unreachable as her debt to the thieves guild keeps her a slave.

  But when a job goes wrong, everything begins to unravel. Secrets surface. Powers awaken. And the path she thought was closed might not be so far out of reach after all.

  Not all destinies are forged in light.
