Rebels and Traitors

The hunt for the final crown jewel forces Atlantis to face a danger it remembers all too well.With days to go before Atlantis crowns its new queen, one magical crown jewel is still missing. If it isn’t returned in time, the coronation could turn into a scandal the fragile new administration can’t afford. Emery Morgan and her ex-god partner, Loki, know exactly why the state comes knocking: when those in power can’t touch the suspect, they send the assets no one minds losing if necessary.Their target is a former royal Red Kin sympathizer whose powerful family keeps him untouchable. Stealing from him should be simple. But while Emery and Loki are planning a heist into a high-security bank on the orders of their impeccably proper handler, nefarious plans are set into motion in the Pyramid, and Atlantis starts to look uncomfortably like the past Emery thought was gone. It seems the powerful Lantean crown jewels can be used for more than adornment, and someone is willing to gamble the whole city to prove it.Pulled between a blackmailed witch friend, ruthless mages, and a city that will never quite forgive her, Emery has to decide what 'the right side' even means this time. If she chooses wrong, Atlantis could tear itself apart, and she and Loki will go down as traitors.Rebels and Traitors continues the Atlantis Outcasts series with a high-stakes crown jewel gambit in a city where rebellion wears many faces, loyalty has a price, and doing the right thing still looks suspicious.
