Kierse is a talented thief in New York who pulls off even the most impossible missions with her impressive skills and the help of her “found” family. Her latest assignment, however, requires her to steal a diamond from a wealthy socialite. While she has some information about the resident, the most important detail of all remains a mystery – is he a human, or a monster? Him being the latter would complicate things due to the Monster Treaty – a decree established between humans and monsters after nearly a decade of urban warfare and millions of lives lost. If she is caught stealing from a monster, it could cost her life. And when Graves, the owner of the mansion, catches Kierse in his library, she believes this is it for her. But Graves will spare her life if she agrees to do a job for him. Soon, what started off as just another assignment turns into the job of a lifetime. The Wren in the Holly Library by K. A. Linde is an urban fantasy novel based on Irish mythology that follows Kierse as she learns much more about the complicated magical world she lives in, including the man she works for, and even her own identity.
