All Spider wants is to seek his fortune as a thief. Is that too much to ask?
Apparently so. When a routine break-in goes spectacularly wrong, Spider finds himself tethered to a powerful magic-user with sporadic control over his spells-and even less of a grip on how to function in society. From that disastrous first job, the stakes only get higher.
In The Wayward Spider, each misadventure drags Spider further from his goals. He's about to learn that in a world governed by higher powers, you don't always get what you want-but you might just get exactly what you need. Featuring werewolves, cults, ghosts, and gods, this quest has it all.
Join a moody thief, a caster of chaos magic, and a hulking behemoth as circumstances throw them from one disaster to the next. Why is an ancient cult chasing them? Spider doesn't know, but he's going to need more than just his lockpicks to survive.

- Classic Adventure with a Twist: Sharp wit meets high-stakes fantasy.
