Twins, Aedrik and Aedrian, and their younger sister, Ashdan, are the youngest to rule the criminal world of Western Jesimae in living memory. Aedrik's defeat of the previous Rogue at only twenty-two has become legend in that part of country even just a few years later. King Besian's alliance with their enemy ruling over the East has forced them to hatch a treasonous plot: to kidnap the Crown Prince and ransom him for information. 

The annual Royal Progress has provided the perfect opportunity. In a devastatingly unexpected betrayal, their plans are suddenly thrown to the winds and they are forced to improvise. Who could make their closest friend turn against them? 

Scarlet Graves' last mission ended in catastrophe. Her current mission isn't going much better. Someone high up in the chain of command is leaking information on their operations to enemy forces. The one person she has trusted her entire life is making out-of-character decisions. 

Something isn't right. She has to stay alive long enough to get the evidence she needs to prove who is selling out AEF troops. More problematic is keeping her high-profile 'assignment' from getting killed. Scarlet's simple babysitting mission puts her on the trail of a conspiracy against the Triad and her unknown opponent doesn't play fair. It's a good thing she regularly ignores the rules of engagement.
