Secrecy is the key to Faerie’s survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born.

Free to lend and reluctant to collect, he has left his family on the edge of poverty - until Miryem intercedes.

Publisher's Summary
Discover the world of the Queen's Thief
New York Times best-selling author Megan Whalen Turner's entrancing and award-winning Queen's Thief novels bring to life the world of the epics and feature one of the most charismatic and incorrigible characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief novels are rich with political machinations and intrigue, battles lost and won, dangerous journeys, divine intervention, power, passion, revenge, and deception. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R. R. Martin.
Eugenides, no stranger to desperate circumstances, has gotten himself into difficulties he can't get out of. Used to being treated with a certain measure of wariness, if not respect, he suffers the pranks, insults, and intrigue of the Attolian court with dwindling patience.

The Queen's Thief novels have been praised by writers, critics, reviewers, and fans and have been honored with glowing reviews, "best of" citations, and numerous awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Newbery Honor, the Andre Norton Award shortlist, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award. Discover and rediscover the stand-alone companions, The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia, A Conspiracy of Kings, and Thick as Thieves, all epic novels set in the world of the Queen's Thief.

Favorite Character; favorite book
5/5; 5 stars; A+
I LOVED this book! Megan Whalen Turner has created a character of such depth and complexity in Eugenides that I am in awe. He has been revealed, bit by bit, throughout The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and now The King of Attolia. But only now does the reader see the whole picture.
I am not normally enthused about reading books with court intrigue and political maneuvering but this book was so much more than that. It was a beautiful study in human relations, personality profiles, and my favorite, the capacity of humans to grow, change, learn, and be humbled.
I first read the paperback a few years ago and recently listened to the audio version with Steve West narrating. It does not disappoint.

Great book for teens or adults.
This is the third book in the series but can be enjoyed without reading/listening to the first 2. It was recommended to me and I really enjoyed it so I will go back now and listening to 1 and 2 in the series.
It is a great book for students or homeschoolers and teaches a lot about misjudging people, teasing, honor and truth. There is some mild swearing in it that might make it inappropriate for junior high students.
Highly recommended.

A great 3rs book in the series. I love the twists that Turner takes us on. By this point we know there is so much more going on under the surface and I love the reveals at the end of each book of what we have only half seen all the way through.

It's a good book.
This book is a good book. Actually, an outstanding one. My motivation to describe the intricate details of why a book is good significantly lacks in comparison to dismantling a bad book for its flaws, so I'll leave it at that. Great book. And dear me what's this? Conclusiveness! My god! Please teach all writers everywhere your secrets!

Wrong Narrator :-{
I read the printed version of this and the other books in this wonderful series years ago, and loved them. So I was well pleased when I found them on Audible. Unfortunately, as with so many well loved series, the books have been spoiled by a poor choice of narrator. Its by no means the worst narration I've listened to, but it just didn't do these books justice. When I read the printed version of these books, I was enchanted by the vivid characters and their stirring adventures. The narrator left the characters seeming flat, and their adventures uninspired. All in all, a disappointing experience
