Among Thieves

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.

A book now conveniently in Drothe''s hands . . .
