Princess of the Thousand Thieves 
- Betrayed (Vol.1)

She has to pass ten tests or she will die

Sora is the rightful heir to a Korean business empire belonging to the Clan of Thieves, a family which for centuries has possessed magic powers and used them to acquire wealth and power.

But Sora is a big disappointment to her family, for she does not seem to have any magic powers at all. And so she lives far away from the glittering metropolis of Busan, on the island of Jeju, where she runs a small café and cares for her sick mother. Until one day a sealed letter arrives, with an invitation that turns her entire life upside down. She meets people she had never wanted to see again, and an attractive god who is trapped and needs her help as much as she needs his.
