When you owe money to the biggest criminal in town you are going to need to step up your
thieving game a notchтАж

Service at the Red Rooster Inn isnтАЩt what youтАЩd call "good," or even "adequate." Darin would be the first to say so, and he owns the place. Evie isnтАЩt much of a barmaid; KatтАЩs home-brewed ale seems to grow less palatable with each new batch; and SeraphinaтАЩs service at the bar leaves much to be desired. As for the bouncer, Big Tom, well, everyone learns right quick to stay on his good side.
They may be bad at running an inn, but theyтАЩre the best team of con artists in the Old Queendom. When a prospective client approaches Darin with a high-paying job, he knows he should refuse. But the job is boosting a shipment of priceless imperial dream wine, the most coveted and expensive drink in the world. And, thanks to a stretch of bad luck, he's in deep to The Dame, who oversees criminal enterprises in this part of the Queendom.
If they fail, theyтАЩre as good as dead, but if they succeedтАж well, itтАЩs enough money to get square with the Dame and make all of their dreams come true. Plus, it's an option for Darin to stick it to the empress, who he has good reason to despise.
Then again, thereтАЩs a very good reason no one has ever stolen imperial dream wine...
