The Pirate King's Thief | Alisha Klapheke
Loosely inspired by The Princess Bride, this romantasy will delight readers who love the whimsy of Holly Black, the worlds of Sarah J. Maas, and the fun of Pirates of the Carribean. A lady thief. A Fae pirate turned bard. A dragon's hoard of secrets. Lina spends her days as the perfect noble lady and her nights robbing the type of men her father demands she wed. She wants gold to bribe her way onto a ship and flee her gilded cage. Zavi is cursed. To regain his wiped memories, the Fae pirate must sneak into a nobleman's ship and find a magic object. If he fails, he will never know what happened to his brother. Lina and Zavi could attempt the heist-to cure him and free her-only if he can convince her he isn't the villain in this story. But neither of them know the secret that will turn everything upside down... If you love adorable dragons, banter, found family, a cozy vibe but with higher stakes, secrets, a dash of spice, tension, and tattooed males with pointy ears, this fantasy romance standalone is perfect for you. ***This novel is upper YA/NA and contains mature situations. ***The story takes place in the same world as The Fae King's Assassin, The Unseelie King's Rebel, and Bound by Dragons. You may begin with this book. "What a fantastic story! A fiery thief, a handsome fae bard, and a group of fierce best friends you can't help but root for. The twists and angst punched me in the heart in the best kind of way, and the romance had the perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and swoon. I heartily recommend!" Tessonja Odette, author of the bestselling Entangled with Fae series
