Among Thieves Kuhn M. J. (2022)

Who needs friends when you have axes? Ryia the Butcher Cautella has earned a reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the city, as well as its sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not her real name. A deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from city to city and doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster, sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms. Yet even the most powerful men can be defeated. One last impossible job stands between Ryia and her freedom, but even the Butcher cannot do it alone. She teams up with the Saints, a crew of uniquely skilled miscreants, smugglers and thieves, to carry out a death-defying heist on the most tightly guarded island in the kingdoms, the Guildmasters stronghold. Unfortunately for Ryia, her new allies are nearly as selfish as she is, and they all have plans of their own.
