When Vanja is close to completing her final caper and getting enough money to escape the kingdom, she runs afoul of a forest goddess who curses her so that her body will slowly transform into a statue made of jewels unless she pays back what she has stolen while in the goddess's lands. While masquerading as her, she gathered money by secretly stealing from nobles, becoming known as the Penny Phantom. Instead, Vanja stole the princess's enchanted pearls, thus stealing her appearance and identity. Scared, alone, and broken by their mistreatment, the goddesses offer to take her back and protect her for the rest of her days but only if she chooses one of them and offer the chosen goddess a terrible price. She was adopted and raised by two goddesses, Fortune and Death, who then arranged for her to be the servant to a princess named Gisele and her family. The series follows Vanja Schmidt, a young girl who was abandoned by her mother, who believed her to be bad luck because she's the thirteenth child of a thirteenth child. The first book, Little Thieves was published in 2021. Little Thieves is a Young Adult Fantasy book series by Margaret Owen.
