The Lies of Locke Lamora is by Scott Lynch. The first book in the fantasy Gentleman Bastards series. Set in an amazingly well drawn world where ancient technology, magic, and alchemy combine, this action-packed fast paced novel will not fail to please. Locke Lamora is an orphan and a thief. Sold to the blind priest of the Thirteenth God, Locke joins the camaraderie of the Gentlemen Bastards, the fellowship of thieves who inhabit the temple of Perelandro. Locke grows to become a brilliant conman, who specializes in stealing from the rich of Camorr. But there is a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows who is more ambitious and deadly than anything Locke has ever faced. This book is filled with everything a fantasy lover could want: swords, magic, strange creatures, the fabulously rich set against the devastatingly poor. Fantasy lovers will race through this book to get to the next one.
