And now that she�s here, Vita has only one goal: To break into Hudson Hall and steal back what the sinister Basil Sowotore took from her family. But to do so, she needs a plan, a weapon, and faith in the pickpockets, trapeze-artists, and animal-tamers she has met along the way. With her troupe behind her, Vita attempts the most daring heist the city has ever seen. But will she succeed? Find out in this gripping tour-de-force from the author of Rooftopers.
