The Thief's Gamble
The First Tale of Einarinn
In Einarinn, the secret of magic is known only by an elite few. They live in deliberate isolation, under
the watchful eye of the Archmage. But nothing lasts for ever.
Livak is a part-time thief and a full-time gambler, long accustomed to living by her wits and narrowly
avoiding serious trouble. When she attempts to sell a stolen antique to a passing merchant, she finds
herself pulled into a new and dangerous world of political intrigue in which the stakes are higher than
anyone involved can imagine.
For the antique she has acquired dates from a particular period in the history of Einarinn about
which little is known, but much has been speculated. And when the truth begins to emerge, Livak decides
to take the greatest gamble of her life.
