A burglary on Avalon, and with only one professional thief in the student body, Kuro has a long night of interrogation.

Book 2 Chapter 11 - Promises

Living in secret and stealing to eat is a hard life, but it's all Kuro has ever known. Fear and necessity forged him into the finest young thief in the wizard kingdoms. Nobody can hide forever, though, and a run of poor luck lands Kuro in a place where his quick hands and quiet feet count for nothing: Avalon Academy, school of magic.
