Amra Thetys

Amra Thetys lives by two simple rules - take care of business, and never let it get personal. Thieves don't last long in Lucernis otherwise. But when a fellow rogue and good friend is butchered on the street in a deal gone wrong, she turns her back on burglary and goes after something more precious than treasure: Revenge. Revenge, however, might be hard to come by. A nightmare assortment of enemies believe Amra is in possession of The Blade That Whispers Hate - the legendary, powerful artifact her friend was murdered for - and they'll do anything to take it from her. Trouble is, Amra hasn't got the least clue where the Blade might be. In Amra Thetys, Amra faces unsavoury enemies - such as an immortal assassin and a mad sorcerer - teams up with a mage with a distaste for magic, and embarks on a quest for the secret to immortality.

From the author of the Amra Thetys series comes a new novelette set in the same world, featuring the world's grumpiest old man. Sage Lhiewyn, high priest of the god of knowledge, would like nothing better than to spend his remaining days getting his naps in and collecting offerings from what few faithful remain. Unfortunately, he's going on an adventure instead. With his less-than-faithful acolyte at his side, Lhiewyn will have to face down a rampaging sewer demon. Looks like his nap will have to wait... It is not necessary to listen to the Amra Thetys series to enjoy this novelette, though, of course, we think it would be an excellent idea if you did.

The journey of one small, scarred thief and her mage companion continues with Amra Thetys, Part II. Amra and Holgren's comfortable - if decidedly unexciting - life is rudely interrupted when Amra receives an old enemy's head in a box. A longstanding debt calls her back home to Bellarius, the scene of many childhood horrors she would much rather forget about. Bellarius must be saved from utter destruction and civil war. After Amra suddenly vanishes, Holgren crafts a plan that teeters between impossibility and insanity. But first, he'll have to deal with three separate armies vying for control of Bellaria, all of which view him as either a threat, an inconvenience, or a potential tool. Oh, the things we do for love.
