The novel begins with a boy named Gem trapped in the King's prison. The crime? Stealing from the king. How he got caught? He bragged about it to the whole entire town, even displaying the item he stole as a token of his mastery in thievery. Clearly this was not the brightest idea. Or maybe... maybe it was. After being half starved and refused any sort of shower for an unquantifiable length of time, the King's guards release him into the hands of the Kings adviser, Magus. Magus has a special task for Gen, a secret item to steal from a neighboring country for an unknown reason. The book is thrilling and intense. The mysteries continue to reveal themselves throughout the entire novel, even until the very last page.
This type of fiction usually isn't my type, but I was absolutely absorbed in this book. I loved it. I would recommend it to anyone.
