Book description
Dance of Thieves
Mary E. Pearson
Forget everything you think you know about fairy tales. This isn't that kind of story.
Jase Ballenger inherits more than just his father's criminal empire. He inherits the weight of expectation, the burden of keeping his family alive in a world that wants them dead. When a young queen dares to challenge the old order, she sends Kazi-former street rat turned royal spy-into the heart of darkness.
What happens next defies every convention.
Pearson doesn't write romance. She writes collision. Two people who should be enemies, forced into proximity by politics and circumstance. Kazi's mission: uncover the truth. Jase's mission: survive. Their chemistry ignites slowly, dangerously, like embers in dry grass.
The audiobook format serves this story perfectly. The narrator captures the tension between duty and desire, the way voices change when people are lying to themselves more than others. You can hear the space between words, the things left unsaid.
This is Pearson's universe, but it's darker here. The Remnant Chronicles' magic feels almost gentle compared to the raw ambition on display. Kazi and Jase aren't heroes. They're survivors who happen to be brilliant at their respective games.
The plot moves like a dance-carefully choreographed, each step calculated, but somehow wild. Just when you think you understand the rules, Pearson changes them. The supporting characters feel real, flawed, dangerous in their own ways.
Listen to this if you like your young adult fiction with sharp edges. If you prefer stories that trust you to figure things out rather than spelling everything out. If you want characters who grow through conflict instead of magic.
Pearson has always believed in possibility. Here, she proves that sometimes the most unlikely partnerships can change everything.
The first in a duology, this book ends exactly where it should. No cliffhangers. No cheap tricks. Just the promise that the next dance will be even more dangerous.
Trust the process. Trust the storyteller. Most importantly, trust yourself to handle what comes next.
