Returning to the bestselling world of Valdemar, Lackey presents the untold story of Skif, a popular character from her first published novel, "Arrows of the Queen." A homeless orphan who lives with a gang of juvenile pickpockets, Skif is soon "chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.

Ever wonder how Skiff became such a good thief? Or why Albirich lets him get away with so much in class? Your answers await you in Take a Thief. Yet another wonderful book of the Valdemar series. Just make sure you've read the Arrows trilogy first, it makes it more fun that way.
