Sinister sorcery. Gallows humor. A
queer romance so glorious it could be right out of fae legend itself. Master
of One is a fantasy unlike any other.
Rags
the thief has never met a pocket he couldn't pick, but when he's captured by a
sorcerer with world-ending plans, he realizes even he is in over his head.
Forced to use his finely honed skills to nab pieces of an ancient fae relic,
Rags is stunned to discover that those "relics" just happen to be people:
A
distractingly handsome Fae prince,
A
too-honorable Queensguard deserter,
A
scrappy daughter of a disgraced noble family,
A
deceptively sweet-natured prince,
A
bona fide member of the Resistance,
And
him. Rags.
They may all be captives in the
sorcerer's terrible scheme, but that won't stop them from fighting back. And,
sure, six unexpected allies against one wicked enemy doesn't make for generous
odds, but lucky for him, Rag's not generous--he's smart. And he has a plan that
just might get them out of this alive.
With
the heist and intrigue of Six of Crows and the dark fairy tale feel of The
Cruel Prince, this young adult fantasy debut will have readers rooting
for a pair of reluctant heroes as they take on a world-ending fae prophecy, a
malicious royal plot, and, most dangerously of all, their feelings for each
other.

Review :
"[The authors] vividly convey the testosterone-saturated world of fantasy fighter pilots in this fast-paced debut."
