Narrado por: Jason Dorough

Fifteen-year-old Pria is one of Barween Drach’s favorite enforcers, but she has designs for a bigger life. Pria’s just waiting for the chance to take over all of the city’s gangs herself.

When an infamous gem falls into Klubridge’s underworld, Pria’s dreams of conquest might finally be within reach–if she can learn to trust the right allies and keep herself alive.

The Gem of Tagath is a fantasy heist novella set in the world of Teshovar, a realm where an ancient and mysterious despot has outlawed all magic. Pria's story takes place a few months prior to the series' first full novel, Akithar's Greatest Trick. Here, you will meet some key characters in the sprawling city of Klubridge's underworld, learn about the criminal gangs that operate out of view of the Empire's authorities, and gain background and insights into the upcoming events of the novel.

Charming intro to an intriguing world & characters

I loved this story. The pacing and character development were well executed. I can’t wait to read the full novel. There were a few technical writing quirks but the story was well polished.

low stakes YA heist

I'm not sure what this series is billed as, but this book it a super low stakes, YA (arguably brushing middle grade) heist story.

I think the rest of the series might be more epic, and adult? I'm not sure anymore.
