Professional Integrity

Veteran thieves-for-hire Hadrian and Royce face their most unusual contract yet when a young noblewoman requests an unconventional heist: she wants them to steal her. The mercenary duo, known collectively as Riyria, has built their reputation on completing jobs with skill and discretion, but this assignment challenges their understanding of what constitutes theft. As the cynical ex-assassin Royce and his war-weary partner navigate the complexities of noble politics and family intrigue, they discover that their client's motivations run deeper than a simple escape from unwanted circumstances. The pair must balance their professional standards against the moral implications of their actions in this standalone adventure.

Tim Gerard Reynolds delivers an intimate and engaging performance that transforms this compact tale into a theatrical experience. His distinct characterizations bring both protagonists to life with nuanced vocal work that captures Royce's sharp wit and Hadrian's measured pragmatism. The short runtime allows Reynolds to maintain consistent energy throughout, while his pacing perfectly complements the story's blend of humor and tension. The narrator's familiarity with these characters shines through in every exchange, making the audio format ideal for experiencing the dynamic between these unlikely partners.
