Pearson's YA fantasy duology, set in the same richly imagined world as her New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles. A reformed street thief and the reluctant new leader of a feared outlaw dynasty are drawn into a dangerous game of suspicion, secrets, and slow-burn attraction. Packed with political intrigue, morally grey characters, and simmering romance, this paperback edition is perfect for teen and adult fans of epic fantasy who love strong heroines and high-stakes power struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son Jase inherits control of a dynasty so powerful that even neighbouring kingdoms bow to its rule. The Ballengers have always governed by their own code, answering to no one — until a bold, reform-minded young queen sets her sights on reining them in. Kazi, a legendary former street thief turned royal agent, is sent undercover to the Ballenger stronghold to investigate rumours of a growing threat. What she finds is a family far more complicated than the stories suggest, and a leader in Jase who is nothing like the ruthless villain she expected. As Kazi digs deeper into Ballenger secrets and Jase grows increasingly suspicious of the mysterious newcomer, the two are drawn into a tense game of cat and mouse — each hiding a mission, each fighting an undeniable pull toward the other. Loyalties are tested, danger closes in from every side, and the line between enemy and ally begins to blur. Told from dual perspectives, Dance of Thieves weaves together political tension, found-family warmth, and a romance that builds slowly and believably against the backdrop of an unforgiving world. Fans of the Remnant Chronicles will recognise familiar faces from that beloved series woven into this fresh new story, while new readers will find plenty to love in this stand-alone entry point into Pearson's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGripping start to a YA fantasy duology from a New York Times bestselling author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual points of view balancing romance, intrigue, and action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, capable heroine alongside a morally complex hero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet in the same universe as the acclaimed Remnant Chronicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for fans of slow-burn romance and political fantasy worldbuilding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for teen and adult YA readers alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary E.
