(6 reviews)

The Thieves' Gambit duology by Kayvion Lewis is the enemies-to-lovers thriller packed full of high stakes, plot twists and heists. It was winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Older Readers 2024 and is currently being made into a movie. We recommend this series for readers aged 13+.

The books follow seventeen-year-old Rosalyn Quest, who was raised by a legendary family of thieves with one rule: trust no one. When her mother is kidnapped, her only chance to save her is to win the Thieves’ Gambit – a deadly competition for the world’s best thieves, where the victor is granted one wish. To win, she must outwit all of her competitors. Expect betrayals, rivalry and deadly consequences as Ross also navigates her feeling for Devroe, her enemy-turned-lover-turned enemy.  

This sizzling romance full of action and adventure is perfect for readers who love a puzzle and all fans of the The Inheritance Games and The Hunger Games.
