My Fan Playlist for To Steal From Thieves
I love a good pea-souper of a book – one of those dark, Victoriana reads full of foggy streets, flickering gas lamps, and crimes committed under the cover of darkness. And you know what book that perfectly describes? To Steal from Thieves! This novel is full enemies-to-lovers romance, steam-punk style alchemy, and a heist. Honestly, what more could you want? And a novel so full of atmosphere deserves a playlist to with it so while you read you can full immerse yourself in this fantasy version of Victorian London!
Within the dazzling halls of London’s Crystal Palace, the event of the season has arrived: The Great Exhibition. An opportunity for the greatest minds of the century to come together under one roof in an unprecedented display of art and invention. And for two unlikely partners in crime, it’s about to become the score of a lifetime.
Charming con man Kane Durante works alone—or on occasion with his best friend, Fletcher. But when his boss, the infamous Kingpin of London’s magical dark market, gives him the impossible task of stealing a priceless artifact from the Great Exhibition, he knows it’s a job he can’t pull off alone. Enter Zaria Mendoza, daughter of one of London’s greatest alchemologists. Ever since her father’s death, Zaria’s been struggling to keep her underground business afloat, and impatient clients are becoming violent. When the infuriatingly handsome Kane offers her the promise of enough money to get out of debt and leave London entirely, she knows she can’t walk away from this dangerous partnership.
But robbing one of the most public, heavily-guarded buildings in London isn’t going to be easy, especially when love and betrayal threaten to ruin everything they’ve worked so hard for.
