Eli Monpress is talented. He's charming. And he's a thief.
But not just any thief. He's the greatest thief of the age - and he's also a wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's going to put his plan into effect.
The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small. He'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while.
Something like a king.

"Completely unexpected. I saw this series in a multitude of e-adds and it must have warn me down; and glad it did. Clever, funny and thoroughly entertaining. I am eagerly looking forward to the rest of the series. An original twist on the fantasy genre. It was lighthearted and action-packed." — Patti (5 out of 5 stars)

" Fun light fantasy - very enjoyable read. "
" I loved it. Eli is fun, full of adventure, and sexy as hell too. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. "
" I think I would have liked this book even better if I had been able to read it in larger blocks of time. I enjoyed the last bit the most. Again, this could be because I was able to read it in a block of time. :-) I liked the way the magic worked through spirits and how everything had spirits. I haven't decided yet if I want to read the next one although I am slightly curious to know more about Eli and his travelling companions. "
" Not picked this up since Jan - maybe have another go at some point, but just doesn't hold my interest unfortunately "
" Easy reading, semi-high fantasy. It was enjoyable fluff, but didn't really go that deep, and I wasn't particularly drawn to any of the characters. I'm not sure I'll bother with any of the next ones, but glad I gave it a try. "
" Brilliant book, original and fun. Can't wait to read the next one. "
" My 50th book read in 2012! "
" Slow start for me but really picks up and I can't wait to read the next one. "
" I liked this book. Rachel Aaron did a good job of telling a complete adventure, whilst introducing her new series. I look forward to reading the rest. "
" Fun; but light. Could go somewhere interesting. "
" I adore this book. It passed a very enjoyable couple of hours, the characters were nicely developed, the magical system was quite fresh and I enjoyed the plot. It's a book I think I'll reread sometime soon and I'll be heading out to find the next one in the series. "
" very enjoyable - good characters and entertaining. would give it 5 stars, but waiting to see how the other two books turn out. in particular, whether the backstory is adequately explained. "
" Definitely plan on reading the rest of the series (eventually) "
" I liked this book. I listened to the audio and the reader is good. Took me a while to get into it but things definitely sped up at the end and I will be starting book two shortly. "
" entertaining plot. easy to dive into and keeps a very nice pace. the characters are interesting and the world building is good. some new twists on "magic" that most fantasy readers will appreciate. "
" The character of Eli Monpress reminds me a lot of the characters in Tangled and Road to El Dorado - namely, a friendly, mischievous thief with some fairly witty banter that you can't help but love. I really enjoyed the dialogue. "
" Good. Will read the next in the series. "
" I enjoyed it very much. Great group of characters with a heap of potential in each one. Very lite and action packed. "
" High fantasy with humor and intrigue. "
" I love this book. It's amazing. I can't wait to read the next one in the series. "
" Haha, a neat little read with a fun twist on wizardry. I loved Eli's character and the mystery behind him, Josef, and Nico. I can't wait to read the next one and see how the plot thickens! :D "
" A quick fun read in a fascinating world "
" A great, fun fantasy read. Eli, the thief, is contagiously merry and mischievious. His travelling companions are great too (also frenemies Miranda and her ghosthound). Looking forward to the rest of the series. "
