In the Den of the Kingdom of Dreduor, money reigns supreme and one's skill at deception determines how much you can make, and how much longer you will survive.

Maize is a thief- a very good thief, and one of the Den's best. So when a wealthy benefactor purposefully seeks her out to fulfill a contracted job, she is neither surprised nor hesitant to accept. Only after she discovers it's the royal palace she needs to infiltrate, Maize quickly finds herself in the middle of the grandest con of her career.

Maize must position herself within the court in order to complete her mission, even if it means capturing the eye- and the heart- of the very Prince she's supposed to abscond. But will Maize be able to finish the job before her true intentions are discovered? 

Or worse- before she finds her heart stolen first?

Bounty Hunter [REWRITTEN VERSION] by ATTiger

"Captain, please reconsider. There's no way I'll be able to work with her. She's reckless, she doesn't follow orders, and she's a danger to the operation. Bounty hunters will sell out anything for the right price. What makes you think we can trust her?" "I'm not asking you to trust her. I'm asking you to trust me." "I do. But I don't need her, Captain, I'm perfectly capable of doing this on my own..." * * * Maize Ember is the most cunning and most feared Bounty Hunter in all of New York City. She's ruthless, but she's the best. She can take down any criminal, she can fight any bad guy, and most importantly, she does not take crap from anyone. Not even Alec West, the top ranked detective in the precinct and her unspoken competitive rival. But when a new case comes to light, and Alec and Maize find themselves going on a high risk mission, together, they can't believe it. With the help of each other they must protect a long ago friend of Alec's, an undercover cop that holds valuable information that could bring down the Crime Syndicate that has been terrorizing the streets for years. Can they put their distasteful feelings towards each other aside for the sake of the mission? Alec doesn't think he can trust anyone. Maize doesn't trust anyone. What will the two do when they realize they stumbled into something much bigger than themselves - and that an old ghost from Maize's past might be back to haunt them both? It all comes down to a game of cat and mouse...

DECENTRY ~The World of liars by LouisValeria2304

Lies are the foundation of this world. Truth? Just another illusion. In a world where truth is a rare currency and deception is a way of survival, the sanctuary of Decentry stands as the last fragile hope against the creeping darkness. Fiyona never asked to be the keeper of a relic that whispers to the dark. Never asked to be hunted by Shades that bleed through the cracks of reality. Never asked to stand beside Qualin-the infuriatingly unreadable swordsman whose every word feels like a carefully placed move in a game she doesn't understand. He fights for Decentry, just like her. But why does it feel like he's always watching, always calculating, as if she's the one being studied? In a city built on deception, trust is the most dangerous weapon. The Shades are closing in, spies lurk in the shadows, and secrets claw at the edges of their fragile sanctuary. Everyone has a role to play-mercenary, leader, traitor. But when the lines blur, when every truth feels like a carefully crafted lie, Fiyona has to wonder: Is she protecting Decentry, or is Decentry protecting something from her? Enemies in the dark. Whispers in the walls. And a partner who might be something else entirely. •Welcome to Decentry. Keep your eyes open for clues-sometimes the smallest details hold the biggest secrets!!•

She is also something more which is discovered as she grows up but she must keep it hidden to protect herself. As she masters her skills, she, along with her friends, are given the opportunity to leave and earn her freedom.
