Red Seas Under Red Skies (Gentleman Bastards, Book 2)

In Red Seas Under Red Skies, the second installment of the Gentleman Bastard Sequence, Locke Lamora embarks on a perilous scheme that demands a miracle to succeed.

Having escaped the underworld after a fierce conflict, Locke and his partner, Jean, seek refuge in Tal Verrar. However, their respite is short-lived as they return to their favored pursuit: robbing the wealthy. Their ultimate target is the Sinspire, the most exclusive and well-protected gambling house in the world, where cheating carries a death sentence.

Undeterred, Locke and Jean devise an intricate plan involving deception, trickery, and swindling to infiltrate the Sinspire's vault. But someone is aware of their secret and intends to ensure they face the consequences for their actions.
