What is The Ruby Heart About?


The legend of The Ruby Heart is whispered in every shadow and hidden tavern across the realm. It's a gem of unimaginable power, said to be able to grant the desires of its wielder. But it’s not merely a treasure; it's a living artifact, and it’s been hidden for centuries in the impenetrable vault of the tyrannical Archmage.

Enter Soren, a master thief with a dark past and a talent for getting into places no one else can. His latest mark is the Ruby Heart, and the job is personal. He isn’t just after the gem for its value; he needs its power to save the only person he has left. To pull off the impossible, he must assemble a crew of magical misfits:

  • A nimble shadow-mage, whose illusions can deceive the very air.

  • A stoic alchemist, who can create potions to bypass any defense.

  • A charismatic grifter, who can talk their way into—or out of—any situation.

Their target is an archmage's tower protected by ancient wards, sentient golems, and a web of magical traps. The heist must be perfect, because failure means not just death, but the loss of everything Soren holds dear.

The Thrill of the Heist

The Ruby Heart is more than just a fantasy novel—it's a meticulously crafted heist story. The narrative is a series of escalating challenges, with each member of the crew using their unique skills to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles. The plan is a character in itself, constantly shifting and adapting as new dangers and magical defenses are revealed.
