Bound by Ravens

Two rival thieves
One fated heist gone wrong
And a curse that threatens to steal more than their freedom

It was a simple job.

All I had to do was steal a ring from a mainland witch for the Thieves’ Guild that owned me. Easy enough, right? The reward would bring me closer to earning my freedom. And stars above, I wanted off this floating luxury island.

But then he showed up, a cocky thief from a rival guild, and ruined all my plans.

Every. Single. One.

I lost the ring and my chance at freedom. But on the bright side, if we fail to retrieve three magical artifacts for the witch, I’ll be forever cursed to exist no more than fifteen feet from that unnaturally beautiful, arrogant elf. As an additional treat, we’ll be hunted down by our own guilds when this curse prevents us from returning. I honestly didn’t believe things could get worse. Until he offered a solution to our not-so-little problem—a bargain to save our lives.

I would laugh, except I didn’t realize there was anything left in my life to steal.

CONTENT CONSIDERATIONS
While these content moments are mostly mildly described and mostly off page, there is nothing mild or off page about this reality for many. Please put your mental health first.

• This is a 250 page, 55,000 word, fast-paced <full-length novel> that was originally part of a multi-author collection with a word cap limit requirement. If you prefer longer, deeper worldbuilding, please keep this in mind.
• brief off page references to child abandonment with mild descriptions
• themes of mortal indentured slavery with the fae.
• mild fantasy violence.
• fae are referred to as male/female (since they are not huMAN).
• swearing, but mostly in Irish slang.
• one on page sex scenes with mild description in chapter 23. It is emotionally/romantically driven and easily skippable.
• An adorable otter monster.
• smeggsy Irish dialects in dialogue.
• medium burn romance (this is a standalone with a fated mates trope).
