Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes's Gift, the Queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eudenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the Queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered...she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge.
Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the Queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times. When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph — and his greatest loss — comes in capturing something that the Queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago... Review:"Turner's storytelling is so sure that readers will want to go along with her...and discover whatever it is that Eugenides will do next." Publishers Weekly
Review:"This is a story to savor, one of those books a reader will race through to find out what happens, at the same time never wanting it to end." VOYA
Review:"[A] story of love and war in which love wins out. It is sure to find readers among admirers of the first book." School Library Journal
