In a fantasy world that resembles the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, the young thief Gen is pulled from a dungeon and ordered by a king to steal a jewel of great value from a rival kingdom or face certain death. If you have a fondness for tricksters, exciting adventure, and very clever writing, you will love this book. Gen is one of my all-time favorite characters and I take a great deal of pleasure re-reading this book to spot the clues that lead to the surprise ending. It's the first of 3 books set in the same world, and they're all excellent.
