The Face of Chaos

War looms over Sanctuary in the fifth Thieves' World® anthology compiled by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Phule's Company series.

The invasion by the Beysibs, an amphibious humanoid race, brings unusual prosperity to the city of Sanctuary. But underneath the glittering façade lies a ticking time bomb, for the nefarious residents of Sanctuary don't take kindly to an invasion—well-meaning or otherwise . . .

Join Janet Morris, C. J. Cherryh, Robert Lynn Asprin, Lynn Abbey, David Drake, and Diana L. Paxson as their stories unravel the fates of Sanctuary's favorite liars, thieves, assassins, and warriors.

"The Face of Chaos continues to deliver the gritty, morally complex stories that fans of the Thieves' World® series have come to love. With its focus on magic, divine intervention, and the chaotic forces threatening to tear Sanctuary apart, this volume is a must-read for those invested in the fate of the city and its inhabitants." —Out of This World Reviews
