So, whenever I've read books, the main relationships that are explored are romantic ones. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. I'm a sucker for good romances but you always have that one friend who's like your family. A friend you'd die for. This is a story about friendship. It is a story that starts with a heist, set in a steampunk world inspired by Victorian England, where a gang of thieves that operate as circus performers decide to pull off a final score before going their separate ways. But life rarely goes as planned.
