Icarus Gallagher is a thief. He steals priceless art and replaces it with his father\u2019s impeccable forgeries. For years, one man\u2014the wealthy Mr. Black\u2014has been their target in revenge for his role in the death of Icarus\u2019s mother. To keep their secret, Icarus adheres to his own strict rules to keep people, and feelings, at bay: Don\u2019t let anyone close. Don\u2019t let anyone touch you. And, above all, don\u2019t get caught.<\/p>\n

Until one night, he does. Not by Mr. Black but by his mysterious son, Helios, now living under house arrest in the Black mansion. Instead of turning Icarus in, Helios bargains for something even more dangerous\u2014a friendship that breaks every single one of Icarus\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

As reluctance and distrust become closeness and something more, they uncover the gilded cage that has trapped both their families for years. One Icarus is determined to escape. But his father\u2019s thirst for revenge shows no sign of fading, and soon it may force Icarus to choose: the escape he\u2019s dreamed of, or the boy he\u2019s come to love. Reaching for both could be his greatest triumph\u2014or it could be his downfall.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
