An epic novel set in the world of the Queen’s Thief.

Deep within the palace of the Mede emperor, in an alcove off the main room of his master’s apartments, Kamet minds his master’s business and his own. Carefully keeping the accounts, and his own counsel, Kamet has accumulated a few possessions, a little money stored in the household’s cashbox, and a significant amount of personal power. As a slave, his fate is tied to his master’s. If Nahuseresh’s fortunes improve, so will Kamet’s, and Nahuseresh has been working diligently to promote his fortunes since the debacle in Attolia.

A soldier in the shadows offers escape, but Kamet won’t sacrifice his ambition for a meager and unreliable freedom; not until a whispered warning of poison and murder destroys all of his carefully laid plans. When Kamet flees for his life, he leaves behind everything—his past, his identity, his meticulously crafted defenses—and finds himself woefully unprepared for the journey that lies ahead.

Pursued across rivers, wastelands, salt plains, snowcapped mountains, and storm-tossed seas, Kamet is dead set on regaining control of his future and protecting himself at any cost. Friendships—new and long-forgotten—beckon, lethal enemies circle, secrets accumulate, and the fragile hopes of the little kingdoms of Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis hang in the balance.

Thick as Thieves is New York Times—bestselling author Megan Whalen Turner’s triumphant return to the world of the Queen’s Thief.

*stuffs all ten fingers into mouth and squeals silently*

Silently? I frightened a goat by squeeeing!!
One question: how on earth are all the jammy whatsits with their ARCs managing to /live/ with this sort of secret?
;P

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

I suspect the jammy ARC-havers have formed a Super-Secret Group of Squee and are merrily picking the book apart at their leisure.

*wistful sigh*

They’re on to us, guys! We’re gonna have to switch to smoke signals.

Now there's an idea! :-P

Is anyone else hoping that the "soldier in the shadows" is Costis?

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

I know! A soldier. SOLDIER.

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY COSTIS. I WOULD BANK ON IT.

*makes noise that can only be heard by dolphins*

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Yes. I will cry if it's not Costis. I miss Costis so much!

[sunsethill.livejournal.com]

Whoa! I did not expect the new book to feature Kamet, but it makes sense now that I think about it!
