Wizard-Assassin

Half-Elven Thief #5

by Jonathan Moeller

When assassins go to war, thieves scramble to survive.

Rivah Half-Elven is a master thief of the Court of the Masked King, the thieves' guild of the city of Tar-Carmatheion.

But the city has other guilds that operate in the shadows, and one of them is the Petitioners' Guild, a brotherhood of deadly assassins.

When the Petitioners go to war with their ancient foes, Rivah and the entire Court find themselves caught between two powerful enemies.

And unless Rivah pulls off a dangerous theft, she will be the first to die in the shadow war...

About the author

He has written the DEMONSOULED series of sword-and-sorcery novels, and continues to write THE GHOSTS sequence about assassin and spy Caina Amalas, the COMPUTER BEGINNER'S GUIDE series of computer books, and numerous other works. His books have sold over one million copies worldwide.

Exciting

So good to be back in the world of Rivah again! Had to read several chapters before I could remember parts of the story so far! But it was a quick start. Great read!
