When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes's Gift, the Queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eudenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the Queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered...she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge.
...but
Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the Queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times.
...at what price?
When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph--and his greatest loss--comes in capturing something that the Queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago...

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Engenides, the Thief of Eddis and beguiling narrator of the Newbery Honor-winning novel The Thief, returns in this brilliant page-turner. When Gen finds his small mountain country caught in a war between the nations of Sounis and Attolia, can his legendary talents stop the chain of events? Can he steal peace? Only, it seems, if he can steal the Queen of Attolia herself, a beautiful, cunning, and utterly ruthless young woman who may be too much for even Gen's razor-honed gifts. Megan Whalen Turner's crystalline prose and superbly crafted, multi-layered plot make this another unforgettable, masterful literary journey. Forsaken by the gods and left to his own devices, Engenides, Royal Thief of Eddis, summons all his wit and wiles in an attempt to conquer the rival Queen of Attolia.
