No one has heard from the “Hidden Kingdom” of Alletierre in eighty years. So is it fate or coincidence when a retired Thought Thief is sent there to find a missing family heirloom the same day the new queen of Durandur receives an invitation to go inside Alletierre’s gates?

Is it fate or necessity that forces these two groups together to fight their way through the Alletierrian forest and navigate tricky palace politics?

Is it fate or manipulation that has put five strangers together in this strange kingdom during this strange time? Can they learn to work together to survive the perils of the “Hidden Kingdom”? And can anyone learn to trust a Thought Thief?

For fans of the Worlds Beyond Number podcast and Leigh Bardugo, Thought Thief takes the grit and tenacity of Spinning Silver and combines it with the mind bending magic of Inception.
