Förlagets information

Trapped gods, a magical book, a second-chance romance and a royal heist for the ages collide in the start of an alternate-Renaissance fantasy trilogy by a rare books librarian.

A DESPERATE THIEF. A MAGICAL BOOK. A HEIST FOR THE AGES.

'History and enchantment woven in a seamless, intricate tapestry' Sarah Rees Brennan
'Intricately plotted and vividly imagined' M.A. Kuzniar

There's only one thing notorious thief Lyta loves more than a big score: her little brother, Kit. But when Kit is arrested for producing seditious pamphlets, he stands to lose not only his printing press, but possibly his life.

In exchange for her brother's freedom, Lyta strikes a daring bargain with the king -she will steal the infamous Book of Gold: a mysterious manuscript reputed to be hiding vast magical power within.

It's just the kind of challenge Lyta relishes, but she didn't bargain for a secretive scholar, her brother's interference, or the return of handsome and brooding Captain Sylvian Chant, once her lover and partner in crime, now an incorruptible royal bodyguard . . .

Tropes included:
Magical Heist
Childhood friends to enemies...to lovers
Second chance romance
Alt History Renaissance
Found family

READERS LOVE THE BOOK OF GOLD
'SIX OF CROWS meets THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, with just a hint of A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC, with a charm and edge that is all Long's own'
'I'm fully on board for more adventures with Lyta and crew . . . For fans of Solo, The Princess Bride, Ocean's Eight and Eleven, and anyone looking for a wonderful book worthy of heists'
'This was EXCELLENT'
'I especially loved the characters. They multi-faceted, complex people and I enjoyed reading from all three POVs'
'Such a fun, 16th century inspired heist and state-vs-religion fantasy'

'I read this as the BFS book club read for January, and I was absolutely bowled over by it. Long takes her love of the history of old books, particularly the Plantin Polyglot Bible, and 16th Century Antwerp and delivers a sumptuous fantasy story'
