Description

In this stunning debut, writer Scott Lynch provides the incredibly fascinating story of an audacious felony and his group of self-confidence tricksters. Occur an incredible city pulsing with the lifestyles of decadent nobles and bold robbers, this is a tale of experience, respect, and success that's one part Robin Hood, one part Ocean’s Eleven, and completely enthralling.…An orphan’s existence is harsh–and frequently short–in the island city of Camorr, constructed around the ruins of the strange alien race. But created with a fast wit and something special for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and captivity, simply to fall under the arms of an eyeless priest known as Chains–a guy who's neither impaired or a priest. A con-artist of remarkable skill, Stores moves his abilities onto his carefully chosen “family” of orphans–a team known whilst the Men Bastards.
