Icarus Gallagher is a thief. He steals priceless art and replaces it with his father's
impeccable forgeries. For years one man--the wealthy Mr. Black--has been their target in
revenge for his role in the death of Icarus's mother. To keep their secret Icarus adheres to
his own strict rules to keep people and feelings at bay: Don't let anyone close. Don't let
anyone touch you. And above all don't get caught. 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--a friendship that
breaks every single one of Icarus's rules. 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's thirst for revenge shows no sign of fading
and soon it may force Icarus to choose: the escape he's dreamed of or the boy he's come to
love. Reaching for both could be his greatest triumph--or it could be his downfall.--
