Download or read book The Lies of Locke Lamora written by Scott Lynch and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Remarkable . . . Scott Lynch’s first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.”—The Times (London) An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying. Praise for The Lies of Locke Lamora “Fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized.”—George R. R. Martin “Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind “A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters . . . Locke’s wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders alike.”—The Seattle Times “A true genre bender, at home on almost any kind of fiction shelf . . . Lynch immediately establishes himself as a gifted and fearless storyteller, unafraid of comparisons to Silverberg and Jordan, not to mention David Liss and even Dickens.”—Booklist (starred review) “High-octane fantasy . . . a great swashbuckling yarn of a novel.”—Richard Morgan

Download or read book The Order of Light written by Wesley Rowlette and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world was not as it used to be. The population had divided itself into those who live during the day and those who run the streets at night. Inhaling deeply, Jacob Featherstone felt the dense night air fill his lungs and pulse through his body. The Order of Light frowned upon people who came out in the power of Night. They claimed that Darkness, and the power drawn from it, was a lesser power than that of Light. The Dark was easier to use and pushed harder and faster, but supposedly the Light would outlast, and would have more power in the long run. And, unlike the power of Darkness, the Light isn't addicting... Jake couldn't argue with them about the addicting part. But was the Light really more powerful? What would happen if he learned to harness both powers within himself? At a turning point in his life when Jake was about to leave the comforts of his family home to become a man, would his desire to embrace both Light and Dark make him more powerful, or would it tear him apart?

There they meet the mysterious Ms. Thomas and Ms. Nikola who attempt to recruit them to join a century old sisterhood dedicated to aiding New Yorkers in need. Not until they rise to the challenge of saving Piper's headmistress from death by using the wonders of the chamber and the rings, are these two girls drawn into the cause.
