Plot: A formidable outlaw family that claims to be the first among nations.  A son destined to lead, thrust suddenly into power. Three fierce young women of the Rahtan, the queen's premier guard. A legendary street thief leading a mission, determined to prove herself.  A dark secret that is a threat to the entire continent.

When outlaw leader meets reformed thief, a cat-and-mouse game of false moves ensues, bringing them intimately together in a battle that may cost them their lives―and their hearts. (2020, Goodreads.com)

Review: Another enjoyable start to a new series by Mary Pearson.  Her Remnant Chronicles series was very good.  This story is similar to that series.  In Dance of Thieves, you get the dual perspectives from the two main characters. Another strong female lead who is tough yet vulnerable when it comes to her heart.  A rough around the edges male counterpart who is a leader, but not without feelings.  Kazi and Jase are both harboring secrets and loyalties that are tough to break.  Both sides have family/friends who don't approve of their relationship, so tensions run high throughout the story.  Lots of drama with kidnappings, betrayal, and lies. Will their love be enough?  

Overall, I did enjoy the story and I'm looking forward to the second and final book in this duology: Vow of Thieves.  If you like YA Romance than you should try this series.  Enemies to lovers romance is the main theme in this story.  The book is long at over 500 pages, so be prepared for that.  A good series to add to your high school library.
