About Dance of Thieves

Kazi, a thief and spy for the queen, is sent to investigate the outlaw territories — where her target is Jase, young patriarch of the most powerful criminal family in the region. Pearson builds the slow burn through a road trip of mutual wariness and reluctant respect, with wit and genuine danger. The most literary slow burn on this list, and one of the most emotionally satisfying.
