Thief is an incredibly well-written piece of historical fiction. The story begins with a banished mercenary named Caden and a minstrel and thief named Sorcha. Through an unlikely twist of fate the two meet and Caden offers a way out of a proposal Sorcha has been forced to accept. They escape together, but Sorcha soon learns that there is way more to Cadens past than she could have ever imagined, and that he might know more about her that she would like. As their pasts catch up with them, they must decide if they will ever be able to trust, or love, each other.
