Meet a master thief of remarkable charms and unusual powers in this “outstanding fantasy debut” that's “fast and fun” (Booklist, starred review).
Eli Monpress is a talented thief. In fact, he's the greatest thief of the age. And he's also a wizard. With the help of his partners—a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls—he's about to execute his most daring and audacious plan yet.
The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one will miss—at least for a while.
Like a king.
Rachel Bach grew up wanting to be an author and a super villain. Unfortunately, super villainy proved surprisingly difficult to break into, so she stuck to writing and everything worked out great. She currently lives in Athens, GA with her perpetually energic toddler, extremely understanding husband, overflowing library, and obese wiener dog. You can find out more about Rachel and all her books at rachelbach.net.
Rachel also writes fantasy under the name Rachel Aaron. Learn more about her first series, The Legend of Eli Monpress, and read sample chapters for yourself at rachelaaron.net!
