From breaking into high-security military research facilities, to conning the iCity elite - there isn't a lock they can't pick, a safe they can't break, or a hidden treasure they can't find. Until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning from a harrowing heist, Grey and his crew are approached by Dalia, the immortal daughter of the infamous ArchGovernor - and she has an offer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe job? Locate and steal the Stones of Indigo, seven fabled rocks invested with godlike power. The search for the first stone is a bona fide treasure hunt, guided by an ancient map to a deadly, uncharted island that's protected by a mysterious guardian. The score? One million credits per crew member, per stone. The catch? Well, that's where things get a little complicated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stones don't exist. They're a myth. A bedtime story told to little pirates to make them believe that power and wealth are attainable if you just work hard enough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo make matters infinitely worse, Grey's never trusted immortals, and Dalia's definitely hiding something. Something bad. And if they don't figure out what it is, it might cost them their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOIN THE CREW WHO LOVE \u003ci\u003eCELLO'S GATE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The most fun I've had reading this year.'
