An action-packed, funny, and unexpected middle grade fantasy-adventure from the acclaimed author of Sidekicked.
The world is not a fair place, and Colm Candorly knows it. While his parents and eight sisters seem content living on a lowly cobbler's earnings, Colm can't help but feel that everyone has the right to a more comfortable life. It's just a question of how far you're willing to go to get it.
In an effort to help make ends meet, Colm uses his natural gift for pickpocketing to pilfer a pile of gold from the richer residents of town, but his actions place him at the mercy of a mysterious man named Finn Argos, a gilded-toothed, smooth-tongued rogue who gives Colm a choice: he can be punished for his thievery or he can become a member of Thwodin's Legions, a guild of dungeoneers who take what they want and live as they will. Colm soon finds himself part of a family of warriors, mages, and hunters, learning to work together in a quest to survive and, perhaps, to find a bit of treasure along the way.
He's supposed to be training with heroes, but Colm's best talent is thievery. What could possibly go wrong?
- A School for Thieves and Warriors: Colm joins Thwodin's Legions, where picking locks is a required skill and running from monsters is a daily exercise.
- A Team of Young Adventurers: He'll have to learn to trust a fierce barbarian-in-training, a clumsy mageling, and a druid who talks to spiders if he wants to survive.
- Dungeon Crawl Action: Get ready for labyrinthine tunnels, clever traps, and a whole lot of monsters standing between this unlikely crew and a pile of treasure.
- A Rogue's Apprenticeship: Colm's mentor is Finn Argos, a charming rogue with a mysterious past and a few missing fingers. But can he be trusted?
