С помощью коварства и хитрости Эвгенидес, эддисский вор, стал новым королем Аттолии. Только желал он королеву, а не корону, но запутался в паутине интриг, которую сам создал, и затем еще втянул наивного молодого стражника в самый центр политической бури. Бедный Костис понимает, что он стал жертвой капризов короля, но его презрение к Эвгенидесу постепенно перекрывается уважением — новый король на деле гораздо сложнее и глубже, чем кажется на первый взгляд. Скоро коррумпированный двор Аттолии узнает, что ни одна тонкая и опасная интрига не страшна Эвгенидесу.

Когда Эвгенидес, вор Эддиса, украл Дар Гамиатеса, королева Аттолии лишилась не только драгоценной реликвии — она лишилась собственного достоинства. Теперь все знают, что Эвгенидес перехитрил ее. Так что королева ждет, уверенная, что вор оступится, что заглянет в ее твердыню еще один раз. Чтобы восстановить репутацию и вернуть власть, королева Аттолии пойдет на все и ради отмщения будет готова рискнуть даже собственной страной.

Eugenides, the queen's thief, can steal anything - or so he says. Then his boasting lands him in the king's prison, and his chances of escape look slim.
So when the king's magus invites him on a seemingly impossible quest to steal a legendary object and win back his freedom, Gen in no position to refuse.
The magus has plans for his king and his country. Gen has plans of his own...

Sophos, heir to the throne of Sounis, has disappeared without a trace. Eugenides, the new and unlikely king of Attolia, has never stopped wondering what happened to his friend. Nor has the Queen of Eddis, who once offered Sophos her hand. They send spies. They pay informants. They appeal to the gods. But as time goes by, it becomes less and less certain that they will ever see their friend alive again.

Battles are fought, bribes are offered, and conspiracies are set in motion. Across the sea, a ruthless empire watches for even the slightest weakness. And Sophos, anonymous and alone, bides his time. Until, drawing on his memories of Gen, Pol, the magus—and Eddis—Sophos sets out on an adventure that will change all of their lives forever.
