Publisher Description
Berren has lived in the city all his life. He has made his way as a thief, paying a little of what he earns to the Fagin like master of their band. But there is a twist to this tale of a thief.
One day Berren goes to watch an execution of three thieves. He watches as the thief-taker takes his reward and decides to try and steal the prize. He fails. The young thief is taken. But the thief-taker spots something in Berren. And the boy reminds him of someone as well. Berren becomes his apprentice.
And is introduced to a world of shadows, deceit and corruption behind the streets he thought he knew.
Full of richly observed life in a teeming fantasy city, a hectic progression of fights, flights and fancies and charting the fall of a boy into the dark world of political plotting and murder this marks the beginning of a new fantasy series for all lovers of fantasy - from fans of Kristin Cashore to Brent Weeks.
Customer Reviews
Thief-Taker's Apprentis
Enjoyable read but I concur with the other reviews that it's a little short. Good rounded characters with well described action scenes.

Really enjoyed the book but for £9.99 it was only 269 pages on the ipad which made it an expensive read
Thieftakers apprentice
Good story and I enjoyed it but it was very short at 743 small pages I read it in one day considering a book with that many pages would usually last weeks
