The Wild Dark

Book 2 coming March 11, 2025

One last heist. One last chance at revenge.

Once an outcast and an orphan, Evie Wilder now finds herself as the new leader of the Dark Fable. But the secret group of globetrotting thieves is not the prestigious magical crew it once was, after suffering losses in their last heist. Evie must plan their next series of thefts carefully, to keep them alive until they can regain their strength and reharness the demons that control their unique magic.

But the Basilisk—the most ruthless criminal in their dark world—is set on destroying the Dark Fable. Only one of them can win, and Evie’s best chance requires a dangerous alliance between an arch enemy and a former friend . . .

In this heart-pounding finale, loyalties are tested, and no one is safe as the Dark Fable plans their biggest heist yet.

The Dark Fable

Book 1

Evie Wilder is an orphan who has gone through most of her life unnoticed. That is until the Dark Fable notices her for a very special reason: She can literally turn invisible. While working a museum party, Evie is caught in a dramatic heist that earns her an invitation to join the mysterious gang known for spiriting away obscure and occult artifacts. After all, a girl who can turn invisible would make an incredible asset to the legendary group of thieves. And Evie, who has never felt wanted by anyone, cannot resist their invitation.

Angry and desperate to escape her lonely life of scrambling to survive, Evie is eager to join this new family. But Evie learns there are a lot more skeletons in her newfound family’s past than she could have imagined. Secrets that might be the answer to her own tragic past. Not everyone is who they seem to be and the price of uncovering the Dark Fable’s secrets could be fatal.

A lush story feature heists, secrets, and a morally gray ensemble cast, The Dark Fable will charm fans of These Violent Delights and Six of Crows.
