    Summary

    Some people say time is like a river, ever flowing onward, never stopping.
    In some ways, that is accurate.

    But other people say that time is like the tide, rising and falling in endless tangent with the sea...
    We find this a better representation, if only because on the rarest of occasions, the waves of the sea will overlap so perfectly with a previous swell of water that it seems as though time... Repeats itself.

    Summary

    In the smoke-choked city of darkness and secrets, you—the Duchess—live gilded but imprisoned within the grand estate of your cruel husband, the Duke. Though draped in silks and guarded by gold, your world is hollow and caged. The marriage was arranged, a transaction of power and status, and the man you were given to is cold, controlling, and violent behind closed doors. His temper leaves more than bruises—it leaves you suffocating.

    One night, Garrett, the master thief cloaked in shadow, slips into your chambers under cover of darkness. He’s hunting a stolen artifact, taken and hoarded by your husband. But what he doesn’t expect is you: poised, defiant, and quietly burning with the desire to escape.

    Unable to bear your gilded prison any longer, you make a desperate choice. You leave everything behind—your title, your name, your life—and flee into the night to join Garrett at the Clocktower.

    Still, beside Garrett, you begin to reclaim your identity not as a Duchess, but as your own person. The thief who once came to steal a necklace may have unknowingly stolen your heart. And now, together, you must outwit the Duke and dodge the Watch.

    Summary

    Only in limitation does the master show himself, and only the law can give us freedom.

    His name was Corvo Attano, a man of the empire, come to clean up.
    For far too long, eternal city had poisoned the organism from the shadows of the empire. Like swollen, infested ticks, the outlaws of the fetid city spoiled the healthy flesh of the system.
    If you asked Garrett, the flesh of the system was a rotten fish at best. But after all, he was one of those ticks that the man had come to pull.

    _____________

    This may be slow burn and a long story, but if there's something I really pay attention to it's keeping Corvo and Garrett (and all of the others too) in character.

    This is a mix between the old thief games and the reboot, but you don't have to know the old games to understand what's going on. :)

    Summary

    As a thief, you have to know a good job from a bad job. There will always be red flags and honestly, Audrey should have said no.
    The job was too perfect. She should have seen it coming but, a magical stone transporting her back in time wasn't at the top of her list...not even in the bottom five.
    Now, she has to understand her new surroundings, avoid the local guards and their crazy leader, and ignore the voices in her head. Joined by another thief who is more intrigued by Audrey than her gold, Audrey is going to have to figure out the secrets hidden deep beneath the city and save it before everything crumbles down around them.

He taught her well – and now, with the Empire's future hanging in the balance, she finally has the chance to put her training to use. She's already followed in her mother's footsteps as Empress – now, she'll follow in her father's as the Great Thief of Karnaca.

    Or, Garrett Senior terrorizes his counterpart and the City he lives in.
