Condemned (The Exalted Trilogy)

A Condemned thief fighting for survival. An Exalted heir forsaking his house. A fate neither of them envisioned.

In the unforgiving underbelly of Lyclaven, under the rule of the gods-blessed Exalted families, the Condemned struggle for survival. Vayna Cahira, a thief forged by the unforgiving streets of the Rookery after the loss of her mother, is one such soul. Alone and desperate, she must navigate a world of crime, betrayal, and despair. Until she meets a mysterious stranger—his piercing gaze both familiar and alluring—and everything she has ever believed is proven false.
Drawn into a realm of hidden truths and dark secrets, Vayna must confront a fate she never expected. As her heart battles with the guilt of her choices, will she forsake everything for a chance at peace and tranquility, or will she allow the darkness of her past to consume her future?
