About this ebook
There is no honour among thieves . . .
Ildrecca is a dangerous city, if you don't know what you're doing. It takes a canny hand and a wary eye to run these streets and survive. Fortunately, Drothe has both. He has been a member of the Kin for years, rubbing elbows with thieves and murderers from the dirtiest of alleys to the finest of neighbourhoods. Working for a crime lord, he finds and takes care of trouble inside his boss's organization - whilse smuggling relics on the side.
But when his boss orders Drothe to track down whoever is leaning on his organization's people, he stumbles upon a much bigger mystery. There's a book, a relic any number of deadly people seem to be looking for - a book that just might bring down emperors and shatter the criminal underworld.
A book now conveniently in Drothe's hands . . .

I love both books in the series and can't wait for more. Douglas had me on the hook from start to finish with his loveable characters, brilliant story line that keeps you totally immersed with plenty shocking twists, heart touching drama and laugh out loud whit. The first person narrative makes it a very easy read and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy. Mr.Hulick, well done.

Its too bad this version of the ebook has no speech marks or apostrophe's whatsoever. It makes a lot of the conversations hard to follow and takes away from the immersion in the story. Fully punctuated this book would be well worth a read but without it you just end up with a headache.

Probably the best book ive ever read, couldnt put it down for long, so many twists and turns that just keeps you interested the whole way through and always wondering what happens next looking forward to reading the next one, would highly recommend this book to anyone!
About the author
Douglas Hulick has been reading fantasy literature for almost as long as he can remember. He suspects this penchant for far-away lands of yore led, in part, to his acquiring a B.A. and M.A. in Medieval History, and likewise to his subsequent study and teaching of European Historical Martial Arts. It most certainly resulted in his authoring several short stories, as well as, now, a novel. Douglas reads and writes and plays with a rapier in Minnesota, where he is often surprisingly tolerated by his wife (who also fences) and two sons (who do not). All of them read.
