Lily is a young novice who dreams of being a master thief. That’s not easy when the Guildmaster of Thieves only assigns you the lowliest jobs: pick-pocketing, trespassing, and petty theft. She's determined to prove that she can take on the toughest challenges, even if she is a girl. But on one of these meager quests, Lily unearths a plot involving corrupt nobles, a mysterious cult, and long-forgotten gods ― a secret that could destroy the whole world.
Lily must fight to save the same people who have branded her an outcast. Can she use her cunning to put an ancient evil to rest? Janne Kukkonen's swashbuckling fantasy graphic novel, with its cinematic art style and impetuous heroine, is a rollicking adventure of derring-do that's sure to leave readers hoping for more of her adventures.
"A headstrong character, often blinded by her own impetuousness, Lily is a joy to follow as she wends her way through a male-dominated world (Lily is, in fact, nearly the only female character). Her sass, swords, and soaring arrows keep the pages flying and eyes racing over tidy panels colored by Bazot with a palette of cool blues countered by warm brown tones.... A fun page-turner sure to steal readers’ attention." — Kirkus Reviews
