Thief's Covenant is a YA fantasy about a thief who was born in poverty, then taken in by an aristocrat, and then ends up in hiding after a horrible event that she is blamed for. It's a rags-to-riches-to-rags story. There are quite a few time jumps in this book and at first I wasn't crazy about the t...
