Rosalyn Quest (Ross) is 17. She’s also a master escape plan thief. Her weapon of choice is a innocent looking but deadly meteor bracelet that wraps around her wrist. (Think Ocean’s Eleven for teens).

Unfortunately, a belowdecks yacht heist goes badly wrong, and Ross is forced to enter the illegal Thieves’ Gambit contest to save her mom. (Think Inheritance Games for thieves).
It’s going to be an action-packed, cut-throat, no-holds-bared competition! Ross is spunky, clever, trained in thievery, conditioned to trust no one but her family.
