Vanja Schmidt, a former maid and jewel thief, is the protagonist of the sequel to Little Thieves by Margaret Owen. After defeating a corrupt margrave, breaking a deadly curse, and finding romance with Emeric Conrad, the junior prefect, Vanja has one great mystery left: her long-lost birth family. She seeks an honest trade but encounters trouble and invents the Scarlet Maiden, a god to scam her way out. However, the lie is growing out of control, especially when Emeric arrives to investigate and the Scarlet Maiden manifests to claim him as a virgin sacrifice.
Emeric must determine whether Vanja is guilty of serious fraud or if the Scarlet Maiden is genuine for his final test to become a prefect. Meanwhile, Vanja is chasing an alternative sacrifice that could be their way out. The hunt leads her into the lairs of monsters and the paths of gods, and the ties of her past. With the simplest way to save Emeric hanging over their heads, they must face a more dangerous question: Is there a future for a thief and a prefect, and at what price?
This sequel to Little Thieves is a thrilling and suspenseful adventure that explores themes of gods, injustice, and redemption. Vanja's journey is filled with challenges and obstacles, but she remains determined to find her place in the world and protect those she loves. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is engaging and fast-paced. Overall, this is a must-read for fans of fantasy and adventure.
