THE MERRICK STONES SERIES
The Wayward Thief
BOOK ONE
Welcome to the world of Kivera. If the Avis don’t kill you, magic just might.
Using magic is a death sentence, so she’s never touched it—until now.
Maeve’s quiet life is thrown into danger when she helps Tristan. He’s lost, injured, and has just stolen magic from the capital. He is determined to bring down the regime and topple a thousand years of oppressive rule, but at what cost?
Maeve has no choice but to join him when a bounty is put on her head for aiding a criminal. Now, the two must travel cross country to a rebel base for protection. But Maeve is sorely out of her element, and Tristan seems to have more secrets than answers.
With the military hot on their trail, the two must keep each other alive long enough to get to the base. Easier said than done when both magic and mysterious boys become tempting. But magic is dangerous and forbidden, and if it doesn’t undo Maeve first, Tristan just might.
“Her body went rigid the moment his knuckles brushed her cheek. She had to remind herself to breathe as he cleaned the blood away. This was the closest they had been without yelling at each other or working it out on the training mat. He had never shown such tenderness before.
He must have really hit his head hard.”
