Thieves' Guild apprentice Crocodile Sal is sitting her prac exam, Deceit and Daring: 101. Her task is to get a legitimate job and stay in it for at least three months. During this time, she has to steal something really valuable, and use it in a successful, diabolical crime. Simple enough. But she hasn't reckoned on royal and political intrigue; assassins; shape-shifters; betrayal; kidnapping gypsies; rift-world travel; trolls and murderous swamp creatures. Can anything else go wrong?
