Blurb for The Blood of Crows
Ren is a thief and a con-man. You want something stolen, big or small, he'll get it. No matter how well it's protected. All while being the only person in the city without any magical knack.
There's just one rule: He doesn't kill people.
Murder is rare in the walled city of Lenmar, thanks to the magic-eating Inquisitors that can sniff out and track any individual by their particular knack. So, when a serial killer starts killing the nobility leaving no trace for the Inquisitors to follow, Ren becomes the prime, and only suspect.
All Ren wants to do is stop a serial killer, clear his name, and protect the people he cares about.
To do that, he’ll have to pull one more high-stakes heist— And steal the proof he needs from the very people who want to catch him.
