Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boyโ€ฆ
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day sheโ€™s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdomโ€™s last living assassin, Seven, and heโ€™s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the Kingโ€™s upcoming courtship gathering. Itโ€™s a partnership sheโ€™d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Goldโ€ฆ
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they wonโ€™t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, itโ€™s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.
