Book Description

Tan Skulks is a thief, but now he’s been asked to assassinate a king. A brief stop in the city of Jingus becomes much more involved than Skulks had bargained for. An unexpected meeting with two men sends him on a dangerous mission - one that he can’t possibly refuse and doesn’t dare fail. Wizards and demons are vying for control of the city and when everyone’s trying to kill each other, it’s not easy to decide who is friend and who is foe. Fortunately, in a situation like this, there is always the opportunity for a man versed in the noble arts of thievery to abscond with a bulging sack of someone else’s property. All roads lead to the Queen’s palace, where there’s plenty of chance for adventure. Can Skulks once more save the day? A Thief in the Palace is the fourth instalment in the exciting and humorous Wielders series. This book was previously published under the author name Max Anthony.

Book Description

An exceptional thief… Kyra specializes in nighttime raids, using her sharp senses and uncanny agility to plunder Forge’s wealthiest homes. Then she meets James, the deadly but intriguing Head of the Assassin’s Guild. He has a job for Kyra: infiltrate the impenetrable Palace compound. The pay is good, and the challenge appealing. But as Kyra establishes herself in the Guild, things start to unravel. Her assignments become increasingly violent, demanding more than Kyra is willing to give. And as she grows closer to the darkly attractive James, she can’t shake the feeling that his plans run deeper than he claims. A knight sworn to vengeance… When Tristam’s best friend is killed by Demon Riders—barbarians riding vicious wildcats—he vows to defeat them. The young knight throws himself into his quest, only to find his efforts thwarted by a mysterious and very talented thief. When a twist of fate throws Kyra and Tristam together, they realize that Forge faces greater dangers than either of them had imagined. They must make a choice: continue to fight each other, or work together to unravel the truth. Then, as sinister forces close in, Kyra and Tristam discover a shocking secret that will change their lives forever.

Book Description

Loch is seeking revenge. It would help if she wasn't in jail. The plan: to steal a priceless elven manuscript that once belonged to her family, but now is in the hands of the most powerful man in the Republic. To do so Loch--former soldier, former prisoner, current fugitive--must assemble a crack team of magical misfits that includes a cynical illusionist, a shapeshifting unicorn, a repentant death priestess, a talking magical warhammer, and a lad with seemingly no skills to help her break into the floating fortress of Heaven's Spire and the vault that holds her family's treasure--all while eluding the unrelenting pursuit of Justicar Pyvic, whose only mission is to see the law upheld. What could possibly go wrong? The Palace Job is a funny, action-packed, high-fantasy heist caper in the tradition of Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastards series, from debut author Patrick Weekes.
