Books like Midnight thief by Livia Blackburne
Kyra, a clever scavenger from Forge’s streets, uses her agility to steal for survival. Her chances of a better life widen when the Assassin Guild’s leader offers her a lucrative job, but she’s reluctant to obey his harsh rules.
Meanwhile, Palace knight Tristam Brancel is driven by vengeance after his best friend is murdered by the Demon Riders, a ferocious clan of warriors who ride bloodthirsty wildcats. In his quest, he discovers that the thief who bypasses palace defenses may be the key to stopping the Riders.
When a fateful raid brings Kyra and Tristam together, the two enemies realize that their chances of survival—and of achieving their goals—depend on working together. As their conflict turns into reluctant partnership, they uncover a startling secret about Kyra’s past that could reshape both of their lives and the politics of their world.
