Chapter 2

The man, Jake, was the Rogue, the King of Thieves he not only fed me, but he taught me, too. He taught me how to fight, how to pick locks, and how to pick pockets. He became my best friend. I stayed with his sister, the Queen of the Rogue. During the next eight years, under the influence of Jake and Lily, the queen, I became the best, and most beautiful thief no one ever suspected it was the poor, defenceless female who picked their pockets. I hung out with the most ruthless thieves, the best forgers and spies, and was never once afraid. They had a code of honour. They were my family.
