When allies become enemies, to whom can a clever thief turn?

Armed with one of seven swords forged at the dawn of time, Malden was chosen by Fate to act as savior...and failed dismally. Deceived by the trickery of his one-time ally, Mörget, the young thief employed his newfound might to help destroy the natural barrier protecting the kingdom of Skrae, and now there will be no stopping Mörget’s barbarian hordes from pillaging the land. Suddenly friends and former supporters alike covet the young hero’s magic while seeking his destruction—from the treacherous King and leaders of the City of Ness to the rogue knight Croy, who owes Malden his life.

It will take more than Malden’s ragtag army of harlots and cutpurses to preserve a realm. Luckily the sorceress Cythera fights at his side, along with the ingenious, irascible dwarf Slag. And the clever thief still has a desperate and daring plan or two up his larcenous sleeve....

As wily and savage with his pen as his heroes with magic and sword, David Chandler reignites the classic themes of epic fantasy—courage, romance and treachery, deceit, intrigue and betrayal—with the exciting conclusion to his Ancient Blades trilogy, Honor Among Thieves.
