Coppelia is a street thief and a trickster with a small talent for magic. She also has something other thieves don't . . . tiny puppet-like companions: some made of wood, some of metal. They don't entirely trust her, and she doesn't entirely understand them, but their partnership mostly works. But can it survive a far bigger challenge than picking a pocket or two?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA local crime lord has noted Coppelia's success and compels her to assist in a high-stakes heist: breaking into a mage's palace to plunder its treasures. She knows this illicit adventure could either break her or make all their fortunes.
