Parlor Tricks
Hawthorne Academy’s brightest student Kit Fairfax lives to outfox literally and figuratively. Born with the fabled Fox’s gift for illusions, Kit relies on deception and appearances to aid with her family’s crumbling finances. When a renowned archaeologist arrives at Hawthorne, offering a generous paycheck to any student willing and talented enough to become his apprentice, Kit seizes her chance at freedom and applies for the spot.
Unfortunately, she isn’t the only one interested in the job. Infamous thief Marco Fainshaw, known to the public as Jet Swift, is also skilled with a fabled gift…and is Hawthorne’s other brightest student. This apprenticeship could be his ticket to a better future, and the dreams he’s been clawing for all his life.
Kit and Marco have barely begun to jockey for the position when unexpected danger arises. Now, the two must look beyond their usual tricks in order to carry out their new mentor’s perilous requests, working together to unearth information that could unravel polite society as they know it—and it’s one cup of tea they can’t afford to spill.
