Аннотация

Marco is just another child acolyte in Helia’s Temple, looking forward to the peaceful, scholarly life he would not otherwise have had. He has no idea yet of the political truths of his tiny world or of the violent, expansionist nature of the Empire. Nor does he suspect the deeper secret of his origins, blanked from his mind by his mentor. His innocence and ignorance come under assault when the tide of Imperial ambition drags him along on a diplomatic mission.

Jiminy is the most famous thief in all the Purlian desert cities. At least, he would be if anyone knew he existed. But when his eventual infamy does not turn out to be all that he had hoped, he flees his home, relentlessly pursued by an impossible creature. When circumstances force him to sell his services in return for his safety, he finds himself wondering whether he can steal his way out of his predicament.

The world has slumbered, long out of reach of the evil that once tried to claim it. When it wakes, a long forgotten gamble will play out. And the odds are not in our favor.
