Thieves' Guild Academy: Honor above profit. Skill above chance. Family above all. Luc Saint-Cyr, an immortal warrior and master thief, never imagined fatherhood would find him. But when a half-human toddler clings to him, eyes wide with fear, Luc's carefully constructed life as a loyal Sen'dai in the Thieves' Guild shatters. Rescuing the adorable boy derails his mission, yet abandoning the innocent life begging for help is not an option. Just as Luc embraces this unexpected role, his ex—the immortal king—storms back into his life, furious that Luc's "quick fix" has unraveled his own meticulously laid plans. Now, Luc finds himself ensnared in a web of dark secrets at the Thieves' Guild Academy, where danger looms not only for him and the king but also for the toddler and those he cherishes. As old wounds reopen and loyalties fracture, Luc grapples with a worrisome thought: will the king's power drag him back, a fate he once escaped and vowed never to repeat? With his heart on the line, Luc must confront his past and choose a future that could lead him back to the king who once captured his heart—or risk losing everything he holds dear.
