Bookseller recommendation
“An unlikely pair of vagabond 'heroes' attempt the heist of the king's sword for a massive amount of gold and find themselves accused of a murder they didn't commit. Filled with action and a fair share of quippy dialogue, this is a ripping good read from author Michael J Sullivan. Recommended for those who want great fantasy action without being bogged down with massive amounts of world-building.”
— Jodie • Brilliant Books Audio
Summary
Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater, make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles—until they are hired to pilfer a famed sword. What appears to be just a simple job finds them framed for the murder of the king and trapped in a conspiracy that uncovers a plot far greater than the mere overthrow of a tiny kingdom.
Can a self-serving thief and an idealistic swordsman survive long enough to unravel the first part of an ancient mystery that has toppled kings and destroyed empires?
And so begins the first tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.
