" One sword with the power to decide fates. Known as the Raven, Enya has a reputation for getting things done no matter the cost. Which is exactly why brothers Rowan, Beacon, and Niall hire her to help them retrieve a legendary sword. To Enya, this job means avoiding the noose and giving her crew the lives they deserve. Unfortunately, there is far more to this quest than meets the eye. A threatening rebellion. Fights for the throne. Sinister assassination attempts. Tyrannical rulers. With every corner turned, the hunt for the sword becomes far more deadly. But the worst is yet to come. An ancient evil is rising, hell-bent on reclaiming its army and power. Can Enya become the salvation mankind needs? Or will secrets kept by so-called allies allow the world to be plunged into darkness and despair? Excerpt: But she refused to present herself as anything less than stoic and unreadable. Fear made people weak. It made them easy targets as they squirmed, trying to find a way out of the black webs woven by the Raven and her hidden eyes strategically located around the capital. Fears revealed truths people never wanted to tell. Revealed their true nature. That's why Enya concealed her fear at every turn. She wouldn't be made into such a weakling in front of others. Besides, if she were just some lowly scoundrel to them, why send an army to arrest her? That only fueled her confidence further. It wasn't every day the king wanted an audience with a prisoner. That meant she was important. Enya smiled viciously at her captors. She would prove to them they weren't untouchable. That even the king should fear her. Captive or not, she would show them. She would show them what it meant to be afraid. What it meant to live in the hell they had created. She would prove to them that the Raven and her Grims were not to be underestimated. A bump in the road made her chains rattle. Enya scowled, turning her face to her bound hands in disgust. But she would have to live first. "

In the tradition of The Orchid Thief, a compelling narrative set within the strange and genteel world of rare-book collecting: the true story of an infamous book thief, his victims, and the man determined to catch him. Rare-book theft is even more widespread than fine-art theft. Most thieves, of course, steal for profit. John Charles Gilkey steals purely for the love of books. In an attempt to understand him better, journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett plunged herself into the world of book lust and discovered just how dangerous it can be. John Gilkey is an obsessed, unrepentant book thief who has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of rare books from book fairs, stores, and libraries around the country. Ken Sanders is the self-appointed "bibliodick" (book dealer with a penchant for detective work) driven to catch him. Bartlett befriended both outlandish characters and found herself caught in the middle of efforts to recover hidden treasure. With a mixture of suspense, insight, and humor, she has woven this entertaining cat-and-mouse chase into a narrative that not only reveals exactly how Gilkey pulled off his dirtiest crimes, where he stashed the loot, and how Sanders ultimately caught him but also explores the romance of books, the lure to collect them, and the temptation to steal them. Immersing the reader in a rich, wide world of literary obsession, Bartlett looks at the history of book passion, collection, and theft through the ages, to examine the craving that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the books they love.
