Fox is a fringe dweller, with a T branded on his cheek that marks him a thief. He lives on his wits and moves from village to village.

As the story opens, he sees a commotion and finds Wynter, chained by her father, working as a water diviner. She finds water for the drought-strapped village, but they turn on her and want to burn her as a witch. Fox rescues her and together they flee.

They dream of finding a safe place where they can settle and resolve the unanswered questions about their past. But she is being pursued... and he is a thief.

Wynter's Thief weaves a tale of survival and the quest for freedom, as two outsiders fight against odds to find a sanctuary in a world that distrusts them both.
