Discover and rediscover the world of the Queen's Thief, from the
acclaimed novel The Thief to the thrilling,
twenty-years-in-the-making conclusion, The Return of the Thief. The
epic novels set in the world of the Queen's Thief can be read in any
order.
New York Times-bestselling author Megan Whalen Turner's entrancing
and award-winning Queen's Thief novels bring to life the world of the
epics and feature one of the most charismatic and incorrigible
characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. Megan Whalen Turner's
Queen's Thief novels are rich with political machinations and intrigue,
battles lost and won, dangerous journeys, divine intervention, power,
passion, revenge, and deception. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo,
Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R. R. Martin.**
Eugenides, no stranger to desperate circumstances, has gotten himself
into difficulties he can't get out of. Used to being treated with a
certain measure of wariness, if not respect, he suffers the pranks,
insults, and intrigue of the Attolian court with dwindling patience. As
usual, nothing is as it appears when he rescues a hot-headed young
soldier in the Palace Guard. The Queen's Thief novels have been praised
by writers, critics, reviewers, and fans and have been honored with
glowing reviews, "best of" citations, and numerous awards, including the
Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Newbery Honor, the Andre Norton Award
shortlist, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.
This edition of The King of Attolia includes "Wineshop," an exclusive
story about Eugenides by Megan Whalen Turner, an introduction to the
characters from the world of the Queen's Thief, a map of the world of
the Queen's Thief, and an exclusive teaser to Thick as Thieves.
