NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the third book of the “gorgeously realized” (George R. R. Martin) epic fantasy caper Gentleman Bastard Sequence, Locke Lamora must make the hardest decision of his life . . . or death.

“Fast paced, fun, and impossible to put down . . . Locke and company remain among the most engaging protagonists in fantasy.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE With the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, con artist extraordinaire Locke Lamora and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. Locke is slowly succumbing to a lethal poison that no alchemist can cure. With the end nearing, Locke’s only hope is to accept a mysterious Bondsmage’s offer: act as a political pawn in the Magi elections, and in exchange be healed. But the lifesaving sorcery promises to rival even the most excruciating death, and Locke refuses. Until the Bondsmage invokes the name of Sabetha, the love of Locke’s life, his equal in skill and wit . . . and now his greatest rival. From his first glimpse of Sabetha as a fellow orphan and thief-in-training, Locke was smitten. But after a tumultuous courtship, she broke away. Now they will reunite in another clash of wills. Faced with his only equal in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha—or woo her. It is a decision on which both of their lives may depend.

Reviews for Republic of Thieves (#3 Gentleman Bastard)

PRAISE FOR SCOTT LYNCH A bright new voice in the fantasy genre. George R. R. Martin The Republic of Thieves Fast paced, fun, and impossible to put down . . . Locke and company remain among the most engaging protagonists in fantasy. Publishers Weekly (starred review) The Republic of Thieves has all the colorful action, witty repartee, and devious scheming that fans of the series have come to expect. Wired A fantasy world unique among its peers . . . If you re looking for a great new fantasy series this is one you won t want to miss. . . . In a word: AWESOME! SF Revu Red Seas Under Red Skies Lynch hasn t merely imagined a far-off world, he s created it, put it all down on paper the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy fans will gobble it up. Booklist(starred review) Red Seas Under Red Skiesfirmly proves that Scott Lynch isn t a one-hit wonder. . . . It ll only be a matter of time before Scott Lynch is mentioned in the same breath as George R. R. Martin and Steven Erikson. Fantasy Book Critic Grand, grandiose, grandiloquent . . . No critic is likely to fault Lynch in his overflowing qualities of inventiveness, audacious draftsmanship, and sympathetic characterization. Locus The kind of witty romp that reminds you exactly how much fun heroic fantasy is supposed to be. SFX The Lies of Locke Lamora Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven t read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again. Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind From the Hardcover edition.
