The hunt for the final crown jewel forces Atlantis to face a danger it remembers all too well.

With days to go before Atlantis crowns its new queen, one magical crown jewel is still missing — and as usual, the state knows exactly who to call when the job is too dirty for anyone respectable.

Emery Morgan and her ex-god partner Loki are sent to steal it back from a former Red Kin sympathizer whose powerful family keeps him untouchable. A high-security bank heist. Messy, but manageable.

Except something else is already in motion.

The closer they get to the jewel, the more Atlantis starts to look uncomfortably like the city Emery thought she'd left behind. The crown jewels are more than decorative. Someone knows exactly what they can do — and they're willing to gamble the entire city to prove it.

Pulled between a blackmailed friend, ruthless mages, and a conspiracy that goes higher than she ever expected, Emery has to decide what "the right side" even means this time. If she chooses wrong, Atlantis tears itself apart — and she goes down as a traitor. Again.

Rebels and Traitors continues the Atlantis Outcasts series with a high-stakes heist, a city on the edge of revolution, and a heroine who's already been on the wrong side of history once. Avoiding a repeat is hard when even doing the right thing looks suspicious.
