Book description
The whole of the magnificent Riftwar Cycle by bestselling author
Raymond E. Feist, master of magic and adventure, now available in ebook
Jimmy the Hand, boy thief of Krondor, lived in the shadows of the city.
The sewers were his byways and a flea-ridden, rat-infested cellar his
home. Although gifted beyond his peers, he was still but a nimble street
urchin, a pickpocket with potential. Until the day he met Prince Arutha.
Aiding the Prince in his rescue of Princess Anita from imprisonment by
Duke Guy du Bas-Tyra, Jimmy runs afoul of Black Guy's secret police.
Given the choice of disappearing on his own or in a weighted barrel at
the bottom of Krondor's harbor, Jimmy flees the only home he's ever
known, venturing south to the relatively safe haven of Land's End.
Suspecting that the rural villagers have never encountered a lad with
his talent and nose for finding wealth-other people's wealth-he's fairly
optimistic about his broadening horizons. But Jimmy is completely
unprepared for what greets him.
For Land's End is home to others who tread the crooked path, and more,
to a much darker secret: a dangerous presence unknown even to the local
thieves and smugglers. And Jimmy's youthful bravado and courage will
plunge him deep into the maw of chaos and even-if he isn't
careful-death. “Epic scope… vivid imagination… a significant
contribution to the growth of the field of fantasy.”
Washington Post
