I live in the City of Keys, a town of gears, keys, locks, and wonder. Our forefathers banished magic long ago, bolted the doors and locked everything up tight to keep people out and the town’s secrets in. Four Lock Lords control what information is left, and everyone else is left struggling to survive.Despite what Thorne, my naïve lover, thinks, I was an orphan, but not a victim. When I walked the streets at the age of twelve, I learned fast where to steal the best food, how to use my daggers, and where to hide my would-be attackers’ bodies. No one suspected me of such violence. No one knew then or now that I have magic inside me.Now, power hungry men intend to release the magic for their own benefit—at the expense of the rest of the city. We will stop them, even if Thorne must battle his own kin, even if I must reveal my hidden talents and the role I seem destined to play.

     During a chance summer shower, an English country parson takes refuge in a country house. The house seems deserted, yet the table is laid with a sumptuous banquet such as the parson has not seen since before war rationing. Unnerved by the uncanny house, he flees, but stops to pluck a single perfect rose from the garden for his daughter - only for the master of the house to appear, breathing fire with rage. Literally.

    He didn't bother calling Lucille, the house mother, for help. He already knew what the bulge meant. He was pregnant. Lucas also knew that he alone bore the blame for his predicament. After all, there was a reason that knotting was strictly forbidden in the house. Still, when the nondescript alpha had winked and offered a full pound under the table in a bid to knot him – a welcome surprise that he could add to the purse he kept hidden for when he was able to escape the Omega house - Lucas had given in quickly. Since the majority of the tiny compensation that Lucas received for each trick went to pay for the protection of the house – even though the house was who he needed protection from - with a bit left over for food and other necessities, money was always tight. So, with a choice between the quick tumble that the house had already been paid for – a tumble that Lucas would only see a shilling of from the crown that the house pocketed – and an additional gold pound for the temporary inconvenience of being knotted, only a fool would take the former. After all, he was nowhere near his season and Omegas couldn't catch outside of heat; everyone knew that. Except – Lucas raised his shirt a few inches and stared at the tiny bump again – except, everyone appeared to be wrong.
