  Summary

  Rindale Oakensky is a half-Bosmer with no desire to be labeled as the Dragonborn of legend in a land that hates the mer. Thieving seemed so much easier than the alternative of trying to figure out what exactly having a dragon soul meant for his future. Of course he hadn't anticipated just how much he'd come to care for his found family beneath the streets of Riften or how he'd be drawn to his Guildmaster.
