"Mission Impossible, but with magic, dragons, and a series of heists that go from stealing a crown to saving the world." (David Dalglish)

Master con artist Ardor Benn and his crew of intrepid thieves are hired to pull off a series of wildly complex heists, from stealing a crown to saving the world, in this daring fantasy adventure.

Liar. Thief. Legend.

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

When a 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 civilization.

Discover the start of an epic fantasy trilogy that begins with a heist and quickly explodes into a full-tilt last-ditch plan to save humanity.

Loved every minute of it! The story is engaging from the first page. You can’t help but love the characters as you get to know them. Such a entertaining book. Would highly recommend. And the Authors reading is top notch. Great voices and personality. Loved that as much as the story!

Such a good story!

This book was EXCELLENT. If you want found family, dragons, heists, political upheaval, and so much more you have it! I loved this book because foul language was minimal, the story was impeccably told, and some romantic elements without the need to overdo it, strong characters, each very different from the other, great conflict and so much more. I highly recommend!

Holy Dragon!

I loved the idea of this story. I wanted to love the story itself but, try as I did, I just couldn't get there.
To give an idea of what i enjoy reading: I'm a dyed in the wool fantasy reader. My favorites include, Philip Pullmans "His Dark Materials" series, everything by Joe Abercrombie, Robert Jackson Bennett's Divine Cities trilogy, "The Lies of Locke Lamora" and- to a lesser extent- the rest of the Gentleman Bastards series (not ready to give up hope and call it a trilogy 😉) and, well, you probably get the picture...
If I had to name a favorite, it would be Locke Lamora. So I got excited when I read review after review comparing this book to that one (yeah I know, but Scott Lynch fans are famously gullible). If you're thinking of reading this book in hopes it'll fill that Locke Lamora- shaped hole in your heart, don't. You will only cause yourself more pain. Just accept that there isn't anyone but Scott Lynch who can fill that empty space and we may never get another word out of him. One thing is for certain: no one should even whisperer the word Lamora when talking about this book. it's unfair.
I don't want to beat up on it though, either. It isn't completely without merit, it just suffers- at least for me- from an unfair comparison and the inevitable ludicrously high expectations that came as a result. It's not a bad book, but it failed to draw me in. I just never found myself caring about Ardor, or any of the other characters. I think one issue was the "show-don't-tell" dictum that can be so tricky writing fiction- especially, I suspect, science fiction/ fantasy. Like, for example, I gather that Ardor is witty, with a knack for turning a well-wrought phrase. I'll have to take Ardor's word for it, though, because although there were plenty of references to this talent of his, he never actually demonstrated it. I think also the narrator may not have been the best choice, as it seemed to me he failed to create the sort of cocky, snotty, lovable rogue that I sense Ardor Benn was intended to be.

I wanted to love it but I just couldn't get there.

I bought the book because my son recommended. Ended up downloading the audio because I had a lot of driving time. Overall a good story. It kept me engaged and wondering what Ardor was going to do next. Kinda love the Crazy’s. I would recommend if you want something a bit different than the norm.
