The extraordinary fantasy adventure of an apprentice
shadow thief from award-winning poet and author Fred
Chappell.
This stylish, episodic fantasy novel is for fans of epic
fantasies and heists. The tale follows the exploits of
Falco, a young man from the country, who arrives in the
port city of Tardocco with the ambition of becoming an
apprentice to a master shadow thief. Maestro Astolfo,
whose mysterious powers of observation would rival those
of Sherlock Holmes, sees Falco's potential and puts him
through a grueling series of physical lessons and
intellectual tests. Falco's adventures coalesce into one overarching story of
con men, monsters, ingenious detection, pirates, and cats.
A wry humor leavens this fantastical concoction, and the
style is as rich and textured as one would hope for from
Chappell, a distinguished poet as well as a World Fantasy
Award–winning author.
