The Thought in the Back of Your Mind — Jacob Z. Flores

A young man is exiled from his isolated island home by his village leader, the Soothsayer. The only words to the young man were these:You will bring nothing, and nothing will kill you. Now the young man is on a collision course to the grand city of Deflin, a city in the middle of construction and ripe for corruption. Deflin is also home to a gang of thieves called The Breachers. Donning masks and aliases, they steal Deflin's most prized currency. Almighty contracts that determine who and what you are Their next scheme of these urban magicians to turn their king to a beggar. On the boat towards Deflin, the young man sullenly attempts to process the meaning of his exile. Unbeknownst to him, he has gotten the keen attention of the ever-changing eyes from the Leader of the Breachers.
