Synopsis

Jaeron thought he understood the streets of Islar. He thought he had come to accept his decision to follow his father's plan for him, to become a thief in a city rife with corruption rather than pursue his own interest in the priesthood. Family came first. Then he and his siblings return home from their first 'job' to find their father dying - murdered - and a package stained in his blood. A package containing three exceptional wooden toys and a decade old letter hinting at their lives prior to their adoption. THIEVES OF ISLAR is a 130,000 word sword and sorcery fantasy novel that delves into Jaeron's struggle between protecting his family during their quest for justice and his personal need for uncovering the past, a need driven by a ten year-old song he cannot get out of his head.

"Shade gives every character who appears in his tale a purpose, and he renders their purposes with tremendous care. There's a reason why you'll come away remembering the names of the core characters." -Black Gate, Adventures in Fantasy Literature
