It wasn't easy getting access to the chamber that held the book—so many locks, and traps—but one of the benefits I got from being with Thane—even though it was only temporary and ended with nothing but pain—was that I knew a few things others didn't. My hands trembled as I lifted the book, its cover worn, symbols etched deep into the leather. It thrummed beneath my fingertips—alive. I barely made it past the border before they caught me. Thane’s warriors.

he explained more discreetly. It finally dawned on Grey what Athon wzs saying. "Where is the book?" He inquired. "It has been stolen.

How careless are you all?" He asked him with his tone slightly raised. "My apologies, my Lord. It was well protected and not in the open. Besides, no one knows the content of the book and that was why we did not take extra precautions in protecting it," he explained.

“Now you’ve got me intrigued.” My lips curved faintly. “Intrigued?” “How does a thief know how to navigate corporate negotiations and contract presentations?” I let out a quiet laugh. “Just because I’m a thief doesn’t mean I’m dumb.” I continued, “If anything, thieves are some of the smartest people alive.” That earned a quiet laugh from him, low and unexpected. “Is that so?” “Of course,” I replied. “You think stealing is easy?

She closed the glass doors of the foyer behind her and walked towards Aella, then sat on the couch beside her. "I wanted to finish this book before I come out. It's quite interesting." Aella said and waved the book in her face. "Ohh!" Louve collected the book from her and examined the cover. "I know of this one. Logan and I were huge fans of Joan Aiken while growing up." Aella smiled "Really?" "Yes. This book used to be his favorite, but I didn't like it much. Too much killing of innocent children to me." she raised the book up. The title read 'The Stolen Lake.'

I don’t have time for this. The soft ding of the elevator announces my arrival, and I step out, heading straight for Zoe’s room. My hands push the door open, and what I see stops me in my tracks. Zoe is lying on the bed, propped up on pillows, flipping through a book. She looks calm, completely at ease. And then I see it—the book in her hands. It’s the book. The same one I stole from the library. The werewolf book. My stomach twists as memories flood back, all the questions, all the warnings.

Occasionally she would open it and if she liked something in the book she would open, she would instantly buy it. She stopped at what she was doing, analyzing the book. She looked at the holes where she could clearly see section D. There was this woman who had just entered. She frowned at what the woman was up to. The woman seemed terrified and was looking around, making sure anyone was not looking at her. When she did not see anyone, she immediately put the books she had stolen into her bag. What she didn’t know was that Chel was just in the other section and the theft she was committing was seen.

“It’s a thief we need.” Tawny’s sweet voice comes over the monitor and moves closer to the screen, her yellow eyes pinned on Lyric. “Once upon a long time ago, many, many moons before now, The doorways to the realm of the gods were sealed by four powerful gods and goddesses. They created four stones, one per each god’s magic. These stones not only sealed the doorway, but they also became the key to reopening it. We recently discovered a book with an explanation, a doorway, and some other papers.” She casts Crimson a sideways glance and he shrinks in his seat. “And that’s what I stole?

Every day when William dusted them, his expression carried the calm resignation of a man who had transcended worldly concerns. That was when my phone rang with a video call from Sean.

Just enough room existed for me to fly straight up and back down to get to my special items. I had a big stack of books I kept right next to my bed. Gera usually found them on the side of the road, sometimes left outside the door of the library, not properly tucked into the slots. Some of them were so old and battered the words were barely visible, but I kept them anyway. Beggars can't be choosers, as the humans say.

" I jumped through several elevated bases leading to the 16th deck, I made sure my movements were light and silent so as not to be detected easily. When I finally got to the last room where I suspected the book to be hidden, I repositioned to the window and took out my tools to punch some holes in the window pane, through the holes I put my hands and unlocked the window. After that, I carefully sharpened my sense of hearing, and as soon as I was sure that there was one in the room, I climbed in.
