Synopsis

In this thrilling, fast-paced sequel to Thieves’ Gambit, Ross squares off against the devilishly charming Devroe as they’re forced to work together on jobs around the world. Loyalties will be tested, backs will be stabbed, hearts will be broken. May the best thief win.

“From New Orleans and Antarctica to Monte Carlo and Cape Town, the returning cast of beloved characters . . . find themselves . . . [in] much of the same nail-biting action . . . making for a fun and satisfying read.”—Kirkus Reviews

Six months after being betrayed by a certain smooth-talking boy and losing out on the ultimate prize, seventeen-year-old Ross Quest is annoyed. No, pissed. But Devroe is like gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe. That is, if gum could smirk and flirt and make her feel butterflies in her stomach. Worst of all, they’re now forced to work together. As they pull jobs all over the world, Devroe takes every opportunity to ply her with his charms, determined to earn her forgiveness—or so he says. Despite Ross’s best efforts to shut him down, she can’t deny she still feels something for Devroe. But can she ever trust him again?

He could use the wish he won at the end of the last Gambit to wipe her entire family off the map at any time. No, Ross has learned her lesson: A Quest can only trust another Quest. Only she can save herself from a deadly wish coming true.

So when she lands dead center in a brewing battle for control of the Organization, Ross takes this chance to change her fortune and protect her family. A new Gambit is on to decide the Organization’s next leader. Caught between two ruthless, power-hungry opponents, Ross strikes a deal. If she loses, she’ll lose everything—including her life—so winning is the only play.

About The Author

Kayvion Lewis is a young adult author of all things escapist and high-octane. A former youth services librarian, she’s been working with young readers and kidlit since she was sixteen. When she’s not writing, she’s breaking out of escape rooms, jumping out of airplanes, and occasionally running away to mountain retreats to study kung fu. Though she’s originally from Louisiana, and often visits her family in The Bahamas, these days you can find her in New York—at least until she takes off on her next adventure.

Goodreads review by Jenny on November 11, 2024

Heist Royale picks up six months after Thieves' Gambit, and it was even better than the first novel! I was so excited to get back to this world full of heists! All of the gang is back, but not in the same teams, which makes things interesting, and there are a lot more interactions going on. I apprec......more

Goodreads review by Mallory on November 29, 2024

I enjoyed the first book and was excited to see this sequel. It took place not long after the first one and was still full of angst. I felt for Devroe stuck between the girl he likes and loyalty to his mother. Ross is doing her best to keep everyone who betrayed her at bay, even her mother. Until a......more


Quotes

“In this heart-stopping sequel to Thieves’ Gambit (2023), Ross [Quest] . . . once again finds herself at the whims of the organization, competing in something that’s ‘less like a gambit, more like a gauntlet.’ From New Orleans and Antarctica to Monte Carlo and Cape Town, the returning cast of beloved characters . . . find themselves competing against Devroe, Ross’ former crush, and his mother, Diane, who deeply hates the Quest family. Much of the same nail-biting action continues here, making for a fun and satisfying read. An entertaining and worthy follow-up.”—Kirkus Reviews
