"Are you a wolf, Jesamyn? Or are you a lamb I should have slaughtered the moment you drew your first breath?" Jes has spent nearly two decades with those words in her ear as her mother, Mav, taught her how to lie, steal, and con her way through life. She's ready to claim her independence, but Mav won't give up control of her greatest asset without a fight. When Mav demands the unthinkable, Jes is at a loss as to how to beat the queen of criminals at her own game—that is, until a magical beanstalk, a charming prince, and an impossible land lost in the clouds come together to offer Jes the opportunity she's been dreaming of. With her future, her heart, and her freedom on the line, Jes will need to do the impossible, risking her life to pull off a scam of gigantic proportions. The danger will be enormous, but so will the payoff... If she can make it back alive.
