When you owe money to the biggest criminal in town you are going to need to step up yourthieving game a notch. . . ;---;;Service at the Red Rooster Inn isn' t what you' d call "good," or even "adequate. " Darin would be the first to say so, and he owns the place. Evie isn' t much of a barmaid; Kat' s home-brewed ale seems to grow less palatable with each new batch; and Seraphina' s service at the bar leaves much to be desired. As for the bouncer, Big Tom, well, everyone learns right quick to stay on his good side. ;;They may be bad at running an inn, but they' re the best team of con artists in the Old Queendom. When a prospective client approaches Darin with a high-paying job, he knows he should refuse. But the job is boosting a shipment of priceless imperial dream wine, the most coveted and expensive drink in the world. And, thanks to a stretch of bad luck, he' s in deep to The Dame, who oversees criminal enterprises in this part of the Queendom. ;;If they fail, they' re as good as dead, but if they succeed. . . well, it' s enough money to get square with the Dame and make all of their dreams come true. Plus, it' s an option for Darin to stick it to the empress, who he has good reason to despise. ;;Then again, there' s a very good reason no one has ever stolen imperial dream wine. . .
"This epic fantasy about a crew of misfits with just a touch of magic and heartbreaking backstories is a rollicking good time of a read. Readers who fell for Christopher Buehlman' s The Blacktongue Thief are going to be head over heels for Koboldt' s latest. " - Library Journal "Equally lighthearted and action-packed high fantasy. . . . Koboldt keeps the pace flying through the ensuing daring heist. Readers will hope to see more of Darin and company in future installments. " - Publishers Weekly
