AN EXPLOSIVE TALE OF DARING DEEDS, DECEIT AND DRAGONS

Ardor Benn is no ordinary thief - a master of wildly complex heists, he styles himself a Ruse Artist Extraordinaire. 

When a mysterious priest hires him for the most daring ruse yet, Ardor knows he'll need more than quick wit and sleight of hand. Assembling a dream team of forgers, disguisers, schemers and thieves, he sets out to steal from the most powerful king the realm has ever known. 

But it soon becomes clear there's more at stake than fame and glory - Ard and his team might just be the last hope for human civilisation.

With clever cons, non-stop action and unexpected twists, this novel breathes new life into a longstanding fan-favourite trope: the fantasy heist story. Perfect for fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora, The Legend of Eli Monpress and Theft of Swords
