It's been six months since the end of the Gambit. Instead of winning an impossible wish, Ross has the threat of her family’s execution hanging over her head. Devroe, the only person Ross thought she could trust, could wish the Quests into oblivion at any time. Shockingly, despite his betrayal, Devroe is still making a play for Ross’s heart as the two work together pulling jobs for the Organization. But Ross has learned her lesson: A Quest can only trust another Quest.
When Ross finds herself at the center of a power struggle within the Organization, she sees her chance to change her fortunes. As a new deadly Gambit develops for control of the criminal underworld, Ross strikes a risky deal to guarantee protection for herself and her family.
In this final clash, Ross will square off against a ruthless opponent who will stop at nothing to seize power, and in their corner will be not only Devroe but his mother, who wants to destroy the Quests at any cost.
The new Gambit takes Ross and her crew into the intoxicating casinos of Monte Carlo and across treacherous snow-covered slopes in Antarctica as Ross competes against Devroe in a fight for her life. Loyalties will be tested, backs stabbed, hearts broken. May the best thief win.

Ross Quest must compete against internationally renowned thieves with the help of her friends. In this heart-stopping sequel toThieves' Gambit (2023), Ross, an 18-year-old professional thief, once again finds herself at the whims of the organization, competing in something that's "less like a gambit, more like a gauntlet" to help their leader retain control after a takeover attempt puts the Quest family at risk. From New Orleans and Antarctica to Monte Carlo and Cape Town, the returning cast of beloved characters, including Ross' friends Noelia, Mylo, and Kyung-soon, among others, find themselves competing against Devroe, Ross' former crush, and his mother, Diane, who deeply hates the Quest family. Ross must continue to face the uncertainty of choosing to trust her friends' loyalty, despite her mother's continually urging her to do the opposite, all while she attempts to remain one step ahead of her opponents. Much of the same nail-biting action continues here, making for a fun and satisfying read. While Ross and Devroe's relationship falls a little flat, losing some of the sparkle from the earlier entry, Ross' other relationships bloom as she grows confident in her own personhood, building a future for herself. New readers will want to start with the first book to grasp the plot and get to know the internationally diverse cast. An entertaining and worthy follow-up.(Thriller. 13-18)COPYRIGHT(2024) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
