Matilda flees from the only two constants in life: death and taxes.
Whispers of silver and gold drift through the night, luring an unlikely crew into the biggest heist of the age — one promising wealth beyond measure. A cunning thief, two foreign mercenaries, and a pair of alchemists form a fragile alliance, bound by greed, necessity, and secrets best left unspoken. Their prize lies within the castle of a giantess, a warden of the state whose hoarded treasures are as vast as her power. But trust is a luxury none of them can afford, and as the shadows close in, the true cost of their prize may be more than any of them are willing to pay. After all, some debts demand more than gold — and payment is long overdue.
