'The Queen's Thief books awe and inspire me' Laini Taylor
Revenge, but at what price?
When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes's Gift, the Queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face.
So when Eugenides taunts her by brazenly breaking into her stronghold one more time, she is willing to do anything - even risk her country - to execute the perfect revenge . . .
