After fleeing Camorr, Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen arrive in the city-state of Tal Verrar with plans for an audacious gamble: to infiltrate the luxurious gaming house known as the Sinspire. Their scheme quickly unravels into a larger voyage of danger when they become involved with pirate forces and a campaign to bring a notorious fleet to justice.

This sprawling fantasy blends heistcraft, naval adventure and darkly comic camaraderie. The narrative balances intricate cons and clever scheming against high-seas action, escalating stakes and the looming threat of the Bondsmagi — enemies who pursue Locke with relentless intent.

Ideal for readers who enjoy clever antiheroes, elaborate plots and swashbuckling set pieces. Published by Gollancz in paperback, the novel spans roughly 630 pages of rich worldbuilding and bold twists.
