About this listen

Mercedes Lackey's triumphant return to the bestselling world of Valdemar, Take a Thief reveals the untold story of Skif - a popular character from Lackey's first published novel, Arrows of the Queen.

Skif was an orphan who would have died from malnutrition and exposure if he had never met Deke the pickpocket.

By the time he was twelve, Skif was an accomplished cat burglar.

But it wasn't until he decided to steal a finely tacked-out white horse, which was, oddly enough, standing unattended in the street, that this young thief discovered that the tables could turn on him-and that he himself could be stolen!

I've always been a fan of Lackey's books and Take A Thief has always been one of my favorites! I was a bit reluctant to listen to the audio version, in case I was put off by the reader (I'm looking at you Owlknight Trilogy..), but was absolutely pleasantly surprised! The reader was fantastic and really brought the characters alive for me. Some listeners have complained about words being pronounced differently but this didn't put me off at all.

I only wish it was longer!
