About this listen

If you stop running, you fall.

Jonah Pastern is a magician, a liar, a windwalker, a professional thief...and for six months, he was the love of police constable Ben Spenser's life. His betrayal left Ben jailed, ruined, alone, and looking for revenge.

Ben is determined to make Jonah pay. But he can't seem to forget what they once shared, and Jonah refuses to let him. Soon Ben is entangled in Jonah's chaotic existence all over again, and they're running together - from the police, the justiciary, and some dangerous people with a lethal grudge against them.

Threatened on all sides by betrayals, secrets, and the laws of the land, the policeman and the thief must find a way to live and love before the past catches up with them....

Heart-wrenching and heart-warming by turn. Villain turned hero, true love and friendship. It's all here.

I love this book.!

I am a big fan of the Charm of Magpies series and I was so looking forward to a spin off of the main storyline characters. I so quickly grew to love Jonah and Ben, and the cross over parts with the central characters from the other books were so good. There was less drama and heavy plot lines than some of the other books but I loved it just as much!

Brilliant spin off!

TW: Very dubious concent and period accurate homophobia.

This is an absolutely beautiful love story about anger and redemption and forgiveness. Great characterisation as always from KJ Charles.

Excellent angsty romance, but READ trigger warning

It's a chancey thing to do, swoppimg character's mid set of books, but K. J. Charles fleshes out a fresh direction with skill. A wonderful addition to the Flight of Maggpie' so world.

out on a limb.
