An incredible thief. An impossible heist. Fresh out of prison, Jonathan Aguelon wants one big score before he leaves the city for good. The job will be more complicated than any that he's ever attempted, but this time he can steal more than money, he can get revenge—but only if he follows a mysterious benefactor’s plan. With the right team, Jonathan can succeed, but much in the city has changed during his time away, and the Dragon doesn't have the draw he once did. The team of outcasts he assembles needs time to prepare, but time is the one luxury they don’t have. As his benefactor pushes him into action, Jonathan refuses to be used by anyone, but can he refuse when his team might be all that stands before a coming war—if they can find a way to work together first?
An impossible heist was only the beginning. Having pulled off an impossible heist, Jonathan wants nothing more than to relax and take a few simple jobs as a distraction. But nothing is ever simple for the Dragon. When friends go missing, an old enemy returns, demanding Jonathan take a job even more dangerous than the last. If he refuses, new friends will suffer, but if he takes the job, Heziah may gain a power to overthrow the Society itself.
A job pits Jonathan and his team against Heziah, where they finally find a way to fully rid themselves of him. Now jailed, Heziah is no longer a threat. The team can finally relax—and Jonathan can retire with his newfound wealth. When word comes that Jayna has gone missing, Jonathan knows there’s one more job he needs to pull if he wants to save his sister. She’s powerful, but she might have gotten herself involved in something beyond even her considerable talents. This time, it’s not a heist but a rescue. Even with his team’s growing skill, Jonathan doubts they’ll be enough. To pull it off, he’ll need the help of an enemy if he wants to succeed.
