A God Among Thieves out now!
For thousands of years an ancient race of gods have ruled with bloodthirsty vengeance, and for thousands of years nothing could defeat them. Until now.
To the north lies an expanding empire of muskets and cannons which will soon reach the desert state of Moqara. To the east: deadly alliances and rising anarchy. In the middle stands a prince on the verge of losing everything he has to one foe or another, until luck brings a remarkable young thief to his doorstep. Against all odds, Kes has intercepted a message from the enemy. A message which could save millions of lives. But time is running out. In order to prove her worth, Kes must return to the front lines of war. By her side is Lazden Dadario, a war hero who once swore to protect her, and who has regretted it ever since. With them: Jadiro, a crack shot who fears being dragged into the war he's riding towards; and Saj, an escaped slave who will have to guide the foursome through the lands of his former captors. With no idea of who is watching them or how they are supposed to succeed, these unlikely companions must put their lives in each other's hands if they have any hope of evading the world's deadliest inquisitors and spies, an army of war heroes and slaves, and the war-torn world of A God Among Thieves. |

SOCRATES "I don't think anyone says 'arena of chaos' in this book." RUFUS "One cup of flour, one cup of milk, one egg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously, then pour onto a lightly oiled and very hot frying pan. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar." LITTLE JOHN |
"Why the hell was I not mentioned on the last of the rear book?"
