The magus, the king's scholar, thinks he can locate an old treasure. He chooses Gen from the king's jail because he wants a cunning thief to get it for his monarch. The thief's skills are all that fascinate the magus. One may only speculate as to what interests Gen. The stories they tell about the ancient gods and goddesses barely make up for the perilous and challenging nature of their quest for the wealth.
With flair and energy, Megan Whalen Turner skillfully combines Gen's experiences with her own to create a book that is full of mystery, excitement, and unexpected turns.
