Author Note! I have not abandoned the story, I'm just taking a break from it and coming back to it with fresh eyes. I'll probably start writing for it again in a month or so.

Steal a national treasure, or risk losing everything.

This was the choice given to me, and it wasn't even a choice at all. My options were taken from me before I even began, and I thought once I confronted Magnus, I'd have the answers I needed.

I really am a fool.

He told me the truth and shattered everything I'd come to believe in. With the knowledge I now have, I can't go back, not when it risks the only things I care about in this dark world. To return home and see Eris again, I'll have to complete the hardest job I've ever considered. Walk into Aldrust, the Kingdom of the Dwarves, and steal their most prized possession.

A near-suicidal mission, what could possibly go wrong?
