She lifted her head and looked at him. Misery shone in her eyes.

“The truth,” Athan said. “What do youwant?”

He waited, while mother-of-pearl bells chimed in the breeze and yellow pollen drifted down.

“You,” she whispered. “I want you.”

Relief swelled in his chest. The future opened out before him: a house built of honey-colored stone. Vines on a hillside. Sea breezes and children’s voices. Saliel.

Athan put his arms around her. “You have me.”

Aided by the magic which courses through her veins, Melke is able to walk unseen by mortal eyes. When a necklace she has stolen holds the key to both saving her brother’s life and breaking a terrible curse, she must steal it back from a den of firebreathing salamanders. Things are about to get very tough for Melke, especially when she comes to realise she may have to trust the very people who were out to kill her.

 

Thief With No Shadow
is a rich, romantic fantasy tale set in a world where the ordinary and extraordinary co-exist, where nightmarish creatures live alongside men, and magic runs in the blood of mortals.

 

“From its all-too-human quartet of main characters to its ominous, other-worldly magical creatures, Gee’s story is compelling in its simplicity, engaging in its honesty.”

—Mindy Klasky, author of
Season of Sacrifice
and the
Glasswright
series

 

“Dark and compelling,
Thief With No Shadow
is a stunning debut. Emily Gee is a storyteller to watch.”

—Nalini Singh, bestselling author of
Slave to Sensation

In a distant corner of the Seven Kingdoms, an ancient curse festers and grows, consuming everything in its path. Only one man can break it: Harkeld of Osgaard, a prince with mage’s blood in his veins. But Prince Harkeld has a bounty on his head - and assassins at his heels.

 

Innis is a gifted shapeshifter. Now she must do the forbidden: become a man. She must stand at Prince Harkeld’s side as his armsman, protecting and deceiving him. But the deserts of Masse are more dangerous than the assassins hunting the prince. The curse has woken deadly creatures, and the magic Prince Harkeld loathes may be the only thing standing between him and death.

 

“Dark and compelling... Emily Gee is a storyteller to watch!”

NYT
bestseller Nalini Singh
