About This Book

TALES OF THIEVES AND WARRIORS, WRITTEN BY FAN FAVORITES!

FIND THE MARK

The dragon's hoard. The dwarves' hidden mine. The mage's secret library overflowing with enchanted relics. The world is brimming with treasures—if you're bold enough to claim them.

PLAN THE JOB

Waltzing in with a broadsword and demanding the crown jewels? That's a fast track to the dungeon. A true master thief needs a strategy—one with style, cunning, and just the right amount of risk.

ASSEMBLE THE TEAM

It is dangerous to go alone. You'll need the best in the business—whether they be fae tricksters, goblin lockpickers, elven illusionists, or human masterminds.

PULL OFF THE HEIST

But even the most flawless plans have a way of unraveling. When the stakes are high and the odds are stacked, only the cleverest and most daring will make it out with the prize. Thirteen daring tales of fantasy heists and high-stakes capers—where charm is as sharp as steel, and the score of a lifetime is just one misstep away.

With stories by Christopher Ruocchio, Wen Spencer, A. Lee Martinez, Edward M. Erdelac, Jim Zub, John C. Hocking, James Enge, Tim Akers, Mark Finn, Bill Willingham, Adrian Simmons, Tracy S. Morris, and Stephen Aryan.
