Holy Terrors

Ages 14 to 18

Time magic, betrayals, and doppelgängers await in this enchanting and explosive final installment of the Little Thieves trilogy by Indie Next author Margaret Owen.

It has been almost two years since she defeated the vengeful spirit of her mother, but Vanja Ros, no longer Schmidt, has finally made a name for herself. She is a God Daughter, a (reformed) thief, a sister (surprisingly!), and now a folk hero. She stands up for those with nothing against the few who have everything, bringing justice and prosperity where she can. But even a beloved woman of the people cannot keep her darkest shadows from the light forever. Deepseated hatred has spurred a forgotten foe into action. And as old flames, adversaries, and allies resurface, Vanja must face what it took to become the Pfennigist once and forall.

It will take everything Vanja is to save not only herself and the people she loves, but time as we know it. In this thrilling final chapter of the Indie Next series Little Thieves, Margaret Owen shows us the beauty and peace we find in loving - and forgiving - ourselves of past mistakes.
