Publisher Description

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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
