But his journey holds the key to the fates of Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis. Deep within the palace of the Mede emperor, Kamet minds his master's business and his own. Until whispered warnings of poison and murder destroy his carefully laid plans. When Kamet flees for his life, he leaves behind everything - his past, his identity, his meticulous defences - and finds himself woefully unprepared for the journey ahead.

Friendships lethal enemies circle, secrets accumulate, and the fragile hopes of the little kingdoms of Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis hang in the balance.

Rezensionen

"Megan Whalen Turner has constructed a clever world filled with suspense and intrigue and characters that will never be forgotten. Once you dive into the world of the Queen's Thief [books], prepare to have your life stolen from you until you finish them all." - Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times-bestselling author of the Testing trilogy

"Turner is a mature and amazing writer. I love this book: new characters mixed with Eugenides the Thief and world building like no other! My favorite of 2017." - Judy Bulow, Tattered Cover Bookstore

"Even minor characters in Turner's Queen's Thief saga have fascinating stories to tell, as she proves in this fifth installment...Turner writes with complete

authority about her richly imagined landscape. ...Turner fills out and enriches the expansive canvas on which she stitches her epic tale." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Turner's eagerly awaited fifth Queen's Thief novel displays in full her many fortes: ingenious plotting, nuanced characterization, and a subtle slight of hand in the telling that promises to surprise even very astute readers. ...Thoroughly tricky, insightful, and satisfying." - Horn Book (starred review)

"Turner is a criminally underrated writer, and this stand-alone novel from [the] "Queen's Thief" [world] shows her again playing with narrative perspective, mixing history with fantasy to brilliant effect." - Nickolas Butler, internationally bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs and The Hearts of Men

"The stakes are high and peace uneasy...Turner builds suspense not with battles and gore but through strategizing and charged, subtle dialogue. ...remains as fresh as the latest headline." - Washington Post

"Kamet's growth...is first-rate. As with Turner's other Attolia books, this invites an older audience, but the perilous journey, character growth, and understated affection of shield brothers offer more teen appeal...A stand-alone that won't disappoint Turner aficionados." - Kirkus Reviews

"The complexity of Turner's world combined with the suspense of her layered plot creates a story that will appeal to readers of all ages. The thrill of the chase is magnetic-as is Kamet's budding and unlikely friendship with an Attolian...a spectacularly enchanted empire imagined by a master storyteller." - Shelf Awareness

"Turner builds suspense not with battles and gore but through strategizing and charged, subtle dialogue. ...stylishly written . . . with its fractious leaders and fraught politics, remains as fresh as the latest headline." - Newsday
