β¦ Synopsis
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Michael James Ploof.
For ten long years young Dirk Blackthorn has followed his drunken father from one city to another, always having to cheat and steal for his next meal, and never knowing what the future might hold. A magician turned con artist, Dirks father Thad has taught him everything he knows. After being driven out of just about every southern city in Agora, they have come to Kell-Torey in search of a new beginning.
With winter on its way, and all but a rusty coin spent on his fathers drinking, Dirk must make full use of his skills if they are to survive the harsh northern cold. As Thad descends deeper into his drunken delirium, Dirk becomes determined to make a name for himself in the citys criminal underworld.
Featuring two of Legends of Agoras most beloved characters, Blackthorn Rising is a fast-paced coming of age tale wrought with sword and sorcery, it is a story of failure and triumph, and a testament to the unrelenting spirit of defiance and adventure within us all.
FROM THE EDITOR
Blackthorn Rising is a book that sticks with you. Michael Ploofs stimulating prose and evocative cast of characters are incapable of boring you on any single page. The plot is sharp, charged with dark wit, adventure, intrigue, and emotion. Enjoy Dirk Blackthorns bumbling journey to manhood as he rises to become a great thief, and an even greater man. I loved every minute of editing this tale, and I know youll love every minute of reading it.
