Eli Monpress attempts the ultimate heist job in the dazzling sequel to The Spirit Thief. When Eli is forced to take a dull job as payment for Nico's magical new coat, he tries to make the most of it, choosing as his target the Duke of Gaol's famously 'thief proof' citadel. Sure, it's a trap, but if Eli has to do pro bono work, he might as well get something out of it, and robbing a treasury that's never been cracked is certainly a start.

Rachel Bach grew up wanting to be an author and a super villain. Unfortunately, super villainy proved surprisingly difficult to break into, so she stuck to writing and everything worked out great. She currently lives in Athens, GA with her perpetually energic toddler, extremely understanding husband, overflowing library, and obese wiener dog.

Rachel also writes fantasy under the name Rachel Aaron. Learn more about her first series, The Legend of Eli Monpress, and read sample chapters for yourself at rachelaaron.net!
