Dance Of Daggers: A Retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
Morgiana knows that her best chance of avoiding the thieves from her prophecy is to study at Grimm Academy.
As a scholarship student, Morgiana doesn't want to do anything to destroy her chances of a better life, and that includes when two of the new students find a mysterious cave on the academy grounds full of enough treasure to make them all unbelievably wealthy.
But Morgiana sees it as the danger it is - and that if they take it, they might need to face the thieves who are part of the prophecy that could end her time at the academy, as well as her life.
Can she save them all before it's too late?

Book Reviews
This is the first Retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves that I have read and I really enjoyed getting to know Morgiana better after meeting her in Teller Of Tales: A Grimm Academy Retelling Fairy Tale Retelling Of Arabian Nights and I also liked the characters Ali and Kasi. I enjoyed seeing how Morgiana and Ali bonded and how they managed to work together to prevent both their prophecies. I look forward to getting to know Kitty better as well as reading more stories from this wonderful series.
