But after watching Leah fall for Ash, and spending a year alongside Irena and Dimitri as their love-and their son-grew, he started to question that belief. Back in Vexia, he decides it's time to carve out a life of his own. Maybe not one filled with love, but one that's his. No more living in service of his sisters. It's time to forge his own path.But the Thieves' Guild has other plans.Retirement isn't an option when you've been marked for death the moment you walk away.The Menaced...Oliver hated everything.Well-maybe not everything-but how do you enjoy anything when the threat of your brother's death never leaves your mind? The Guild has been using Matty's illness to control their family for years. One job, one dose. Just enough to keep Matty alive for another month.Oliver should be numb to it by now.But this job is different. This one requires a kill.And Oliver is no killer.Now he must choose: take a stranger's life, or lose Matty forever.Some choices aren't choices at all.
