The Gilded Wolves is a heist-driven historical fantasy set in an alternate Belle Epoque Paris, where a hidden magic system tied to “Forged” artifacts is jealously guarded by a secretive brotherhood. A disinherited hotelier assembles a crew of specialists to recover a lost artifact tied to his own past, across a trilogy that widens into a multi-city treasure hunt with real historical stakes woven through the found-family plot.
