โฆ Synopsis
"Skate is a thief, trained and owned by the local crime syndicate, the Ink. When she tries to burgle a shut-in's home, she gets caught by the owner--a powerful undead wizard. He makes a deal with her: 'borrow' books from other wizards in return for a place to stay. Caught between her growing fondness for the wizard and her past with the crime syndicate, Skate doesn't know where her loyalties lie. But she'd better figure it out, because there's a new player in town, one whose magical hypnotism puts them all at risk."--Amazon.com.
