Take a Thief

A Novel of Valdemar, Book 3

By: Mercedes Lackey

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

Mercedes Lackey's triumphant return to the bestselling world of Valdemar, Take a Thief reveals the untold story of Skif - a popular character from Lackey's first published novel, Arrows of the Queen.

Skif was an orphan who would have died from malnutrition and exposure if he had never met Deke the pickpocket.

By the time he was twelve, Skif was an accomplished cat burglar.

But it wasn't until he decided to steal a finely tacked-out white horse, which was, oddly enough, standing unattended in the street, that this young thief discovered that the tables could turn on him-and that he himself could be stolen!

Great!

The story of an orphan who finds himself like Oliver Twist to become a thief apprentice. He takes to the life with glee until tragedy strikes.

My favorite character from Valdemar

Such a great book, Skif is the best. Great narration. 1000% Recommend this book and series.

Intriguing.

I definitely enjoyed. the twist and turns had been worried about Skif. I am glad I was wrong and all worked out well with some great lessons on life.

Where are our Heralds?

That’s all. The place for our thieves and honorable ‘traitors,’ the place of those who have sense? The recognizable ones? Those grounded in the good of the many, working for us all? Of course we’re here, but where’s the magic we need? Where does that come from, dear, now, when we need it so desperately?

Engaging story
