Sphinx: Prison Breaker Book 5

by Joseph Daniel

Can you hear their throaty calls? Do you see their colossal forms flicker through the mist? The soft thump, the faint creak... then comes the crash.Giants are coming to Picker's Lake. An old breed of monstrous thief-catchers descend on the small town in search of one with an equally large reputation. They hunt the Jester. Once a notorious thief that burgled the halls of the Imperium elite and the homes of Endeavor generals, the Jester's loot is rumored to be stashed in one of the burnt mansions outside the mountain village.And now the Jester has returned to play, and he's brought a leviathan-sized reckoning with him. Leonidas and Preacher find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing catastrophe in a town they once called home. Now, the only way to avert calamity is to find the stolen artifacts--rumored to be cursed--before anyone else.Does the once-prince and his companions have what it takes to beat a master thief to his loot, or will the mountains come crashing down around them?

About the author

Joseph has been writing novels since he was eleven; it took him almost two decades, over a million “practice” words, and ten books before he mustered up the courage to publish his eleventh.

Joseph spends a good deal of his time working on his books at his house in Illinois where he is often distracted by Lupin–his English Golden Retriever–reminding him to take a break, as depicted here. When he isn’t writing, Joseph can be found giving into his dog’s entreaties to play, or reading anything by Brandon Sanderson, Brandon Mull or Jim Butcher. He also has been spotted playing the occasional tabletop or video game.
