The Vanishing Orphans of Alvanor

A young thief risks everything to save her friends when a mysterious force begins hunting orphans in this Dickensian steampunk middle grade fantasy perfect for fans of The School for Thieves.

Bandit Brambleton is one of the many orphans of Alvanor. After the Shattering--when the country lost the magics that helped it prosper--children with no parents or home or papers became all too common. Forgotten and ignored by Alvanor, orphans banded together to survive. But Bandit isn't just an orphan. She has a title, a reputation, a mystique.

She is the Ghost of Halcyon.

Bandit picks pockets and breaks into homes with ease, but she steals only what she needs to live. As long as she has her sister, Rika; a stub of charcoal for drawing; and a semi-full stomach, she has plenty. But when the Tikari--a terrifying duo who thrive on cruelty--arrive in the city and orphans begin disappearing, Bandit will have to pull off her greatest scheme yet to protect Rika and save the Vanished...and possibly all of Alvanor.
