The Swindlers And The Squall: A Saving The Dark Side Origin Story

Love is life’s greatest risk. This is a story of Varka, the most prolific thief Aeneria has ever known. With the aid of magic, Varka has spent the majority of his life scouring the Light Side, pilfering and fencing everything within his broad horizon; gems, precious artwork, forgotten secrets, and beautiful lies. His thieving career brings him to the heist of a lifetime, a luxury ship of unmatched speed and rare quality. Aeneria’s Light Side is as warm as it is naive, and beneath its veneer of safety lies a perfect vulnerability--- Magic only exists in the fringes of campfire legends; yet Varka is from the Dark Side, which means he is most adept in the craft. Just like every other job, there should be no one who could stop him from pulling off this, his greatest heist. No one at all, unless there happened to be a better thief lying in wait. One who happened to have her sights set on the same ship.
