Prudence Marsh Is Not a Nobody Anymore

A musician leaves her quaint town in search of a bigger life, only to get tangled up with a charming bandit and a royal heist in this delightful new cozy fantasy romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore.

Prudence Marsh has always known she’s meant for more than playing violin at small-town taverns, so when she learns of an audition for a royal wedding, she knows this is it: her chance to be somebody. After years putting everyone else first, Pru sets out to finally pursue her dreams of being a famous bard.

Callum DiCorvo, roguishly handsome cursebreaker and bandit extraordinaire, is content with his life of crime alongside his best friend. So content, in fact, that he’s determined to keep things exactly as they are. Cheerfully thieving is all he's good for anyway.

When Pru collides with Callum and his crew in a roadside robbery that leaves her beloved violin in splinters along with her dreams, she demands to travel with the bandits until they replace it. Before long, Pru finds herself growing close to the motley bunch, especially Callum, whose sparkling banter and crooked smiles tease her like a song she can’t get out of her head.

But the bandits have stumbled upon a heist that could make all their dreams come true—breaking into the mystical Lune Vault at the palace on the same night as the wedding—leaving Pru to decide what’s more important: the dreams she’s held onto for so long, or the ones she’s building right now?Emily Krempholtz is a bestselling ghostwriter, editor, and book coach.

She’s on a lifelong quest to discover the magic in the world and has a sneaking suspicion the written word is where she’ll find it.
