A second chance, with a heist still unfinished

Katherine and Imogene have left their outlaw days behind for seaside retirement, but an old job returns with consequences for Saint Percival’s, a convent threatened by sinking ground and a land swindle. Finishing the botched heist means facing the place where their plans first fell apart—and a charming rival from that earlier attempt. The rescue effort mixes fantasy caper elements with domestic details: knitting, enchanted needles, a magically made map, and the company of dragons and otherworldly cats. The setup brings retirement, old criminal ties, and a community’s fate into the same adventure, with the pair’s past shaping the task ahead.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in cozy fantasy adventures with dragons and magical creatures.
  • Readers who enjoy heist premises involving retired criminals and unfinished business.
  • Readers drawn to fantasy that combines knitting, cats, and a threatened convent.

Book overview

A spellbinding cozy fantasy adventure that will make you believe in second chances, for fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree--complete with dragons, cats, and dragon-cats.

Katherine and Imogene are done with their criminal past--honestly. They've traded in their outlaw lifestyle for seaside views, knitting projects (strictly non-magical), and only the occasional pub brawl (entirely accidental). But when an old friend begs them for help, they're back in the game. Their last heist--the one they botched all those years ago--needs finishing. And fast.

Saint Percival's is in danger. The convent is sinking into the ground, and the dragons and nuns have been swindled out of their land by a ruthless real estate mogul. It's up to Katherine and Imogene to set things right, armed with enchanted needles and the power to knit a magical map straight to the villain's lair.

The mission? To go back to where it all ended, outwit their enemy and save Saint Percival's. Except this time, they have the help of their beloved otherworldly cats and dragons. And the same charming rival who blew up their plans the first time round with just a wink ...
