Thief With No Shadow
Melke is one of the most unusual thieves ever to have walked the land of Bresse, aided by the magic which courses through her veins, allowing her to become unseen.
When, however, it transpires that a necklace she has stolen holds the key to both saving her brother's life and to breaking a terrible curse, she has to do the unthinkable: steal it back from one of the most dangerous places known to man - the den of the fire-breathing salamanders.
Things are about to get very tough for Melke indeed, especially when she comes to realise that the people she thought were out to get her may actually be her only allies. Thief With No Shadow is a rich, romantic fantasy tale set in a world where the ordinary and extraordinary co-exist, where fire-breathing salamanders live alongside men, and magic runs in the blood of mortals.
"Emily Gee's first novel, Thief With No shadow, is a finely faceted gem. Her haunting prose reads like Hans Christian Andersen for twenty-first century adults. Bravo!"
- Mindy Klasky, author of The Glasswright's Apprentice
"Dark and compelling, Thief With No Shadow is a stunning debut. Emily Gee is a storyteller to watch"
- Nalini Singh, bestselling author of Slave to Sensation.
