About this Event
HOLY MOLY we are so excited to announce that Margaret Owen is stopping by Little Shop to celebrate the final installment in the Little Thieves Trilogy, Holy Terrors! We have been absolutely dying to get our hands on this book after the devastating cliffhanger in Painted Devils and we know you have too, so we're making this a party to remember! On top of listening to Margaret talk about Holy Terrors with our beloved Julian Winters, we're also paying homage to where the series began with a bejeweled make up contest! Whoever shows up with the most stylish face of cursed jewels (or cosmetic rhinestones) will win a prize! ALSO, we know Margaret's beautiful art has been a huge part of this series, so we're also setting up a fanart display for readers to show off their masterpieces inspired by the Little Thieves trilogy! This is sure to be a super fun evening, so be sure to save your spot!

About the Book:
It's been nearly two years since Vanja brought down the cult she started, and she’s still paying the price. As the Pfennigeist, she bucks the law in order to help the desperate and haunt the corrupt all across the empire—and no matter what, she works alone.
But an impossible killer is tearing through royalty, and leaving Vanja’s signature red penny on every victim. Suddenly the Pfennigeist is no longer a folk hero but a nightmare. When even the Blessed Empress falls, the empire’s seven royal families must gather to elect her successor within a matter of weeks, or risk the collapse of reality itself… even though it puts every house in the killer’s sights.
Vanja tells herself she’s wading into the royalty’s vicious games only to save the name she made, and the loved ones also in jeopardy. But the Order of Prefects has also put their sharpest official on the case, the one who swore he’d always find Vanja—until she broke his heart. Journeyman Prefect Emeric Conrad may no longer be the boy Vanja knew, but they’ll have to work together one last time to have any chance of surviving the deadly catastrophe coming for them all.
With bloody conspiracy, sinister magic, and old adversaries closing in, it will take everything Vanja has to save not just the people she loves, but the future she’s fought for. In this thrilling final chapter of the Indie Next series Little Thieves, New York Times-bestselling author Margaret Owen shows us the pain and beauty of choosing which demons to face, and which to forgive.
