The Trickster’s Bond – A Thief’s Greatest Heist Gone Wrong
Kain always knew he was a reckless idiot, but even he didn’t expect to steal his way into a legendary disaster.
Rejected by every adventurer’s guild, Kain made his living the only way he could—by looting dungeons, stealing powerful artifacts, and selling them on the black market. It was a simple plan: get in, grab the treasure, and get out before something huge and deadly crushed him.
But when his latest job forces him to steal an artifact too powerful to be left unsealed, he makes one tiny, life-ruining mistake—
He accidentally binds himself to Tsuki, a smug, chaotic, and infuriatingly beautiful trickster goddess with a mysterious past and zero respect for personal space.
Now, thanks to his terrible life choices, Kain is:
Magically bonded to a goddess with no idea how to break the link.
Experiencing weird side effects, including shared dreams that show him pieces of Tsuki’s forgotten past.
Banned from leaving the palace because the kingdom thinks he’s a walking magical disaster.
Slowly realizing that the artifact he stole is far more dangerous than he thought.
Marked by fate itself, drawing the attention of rival thieves, powerful beings, and ancient enemies.
And worst of all?
He’s starting to see Tsuki in a way he really, really shouldn’t.
What should have been a simple job has turned into the adventure of his life, and with each passing day, the bond between them grows stronger.
But when the truth of Tsuki’s past begins to surface—along with a warlord’s long-sealed power—Kain realizes that he’s not just in over his head.
He’s at the center of something huge.
Something that could shake the world.
And the only way out?
Is forward.
