Description

Set in the war-torn world of Anhedonika, Thief's Return introduces the character of Jake, a nineteen-year-old pickpocket. At the start of the book, Jake has been arrested and is on his way to Rotuhel, a vast crumbling prison situated on an island off the coast of his homeland. There he will come across a cast of characters who will change the course of his life. Jake's most important encounters, though, will be with Sarah, the kind-hearted preacher's charge; and Bragwen, the mysterious old man whom Jake has drawn to the prison. It is both Sarah and Bragwen who will give force to Jake's desire to escape from the prison, but not before there has been murder and revenge, stirrings of love, and promises made. Unknowingly, Jake has placed himself at the center of a plot to bring about the ultimate downfall of Anhedonika's cruel and despotic ruler, known only as The Lord. Now he has a part to play. His journey begins here.
