Drothe has been a member of the kin for years and working for a crime lord he finds and deals with trouble inside the organization, while stealing relics on the side. I shouldn’t say that Drothe has no skills, he does possesses an ancient skill where he can see in the dark but he doesn’t consider this skill to be anything special. Drothe gets by not with any magical ability of extreme smarts but with the knowledge of the criminals he is encountering, help from his friend Degan, and a lot of luck. Drothe has a wary eye for running the streets and surviving if things turn bad, which in his case is more often then not. We follow a single POV perspective named Drothe. Idrecca has a normal economy and structure but the criminal underworld is the real holder of power in this city and the powers that be will try every trick in the book to remove the beating heart from this criminal organization. Ildrecca is a dangerous city to the average person especially if you are travelling in places you shouldn’t be. This is Douglas Hulicks debut novel and I would definitely say that this is a book you will want to get your hands on one way or another. I then proceeded to read the back cover and I knew I was in for a treat with thieves, crime lords, political alliances, and powerful magic relics. Honor is a noble virtue, but among thieves honor can get you killed. Every so often I come across a story that just grips me from the moment I set my eyes of the cover.
