Gen is a thief of extraordinary ability, captured by the king of Sounis after bragging about his successful theft of the king's seal. This leads Gen and a party consisting of a soldier, a scholar, and two students on a quest for the mythical Hamiathes' Gift - which will grant the wearer eternal life and will act as a wedding proposal gift between the King of Sounis and Queen Attolia.Gen is being used for his ability to steal, but there is more to the whole story than just a thief being paid his freedom.
Critique :
Megan Turner's novel moves as quickly as a tale for young ones should. It gives a detailed history of the three countries, as well as an easy enough plot involving the politics - something that is key to the story. Gen's character is brilliant, keeping a tension for the reader to suspect something, but not to the extent as it's finally revealed in the end.
