Thief of Hearts

A battle-hardened warrior must ally with the cunning king of thieves to save innocent lives--even though trusting him could cost her everything in this thrilling fantasy romance by USA Today bestselling author Sariah Wilson.

Basileia has never lost a fight. Goddess-blessed and battle-hardened, she's trained her whole life to lead her Thracian clan--until her mother names her sister as heir instead.

Desperate to change her mind, Basileia enters a deadly tournament in a hidden desert city. The prize: a diviner stone that can answer any question. But to claim it, she must survive brutal races, bloody combat, and fellow competitor Zain--the devastatingly roguish king of thieves, who's far too willing to help.

Basileia doesn't trust easily. And she definitely shouldn't trust a thief whose every word might be a lie. But as the tournament's dangers escalate and the attraction between them ignites, she begins to wonder if he might be the one person she can rely on.

Until he betrays her.

Furious but not broken, Basileia finds herself deep in the deadly Wastelands, where gods meddle with mortal lives and monsters guard a weapon that could save--or destroy--everything. To survive, she must give Zain what he doesn't deserve: a second chance.
