In the corrupt, canal-laced city of Camorr, orphan Locke Lamora rises from street urchin to legendary con artist. Under the wing of a master thief, Locke forms the Gentleman Bastards—a band of clever rogues who specialize in stealing from the rich, the powerful, and the dangerously well-armed.
But when a mysterious figure known only as the Grey King begins dismantling the criminal underworld, Locke and his crew find themselves caught in a deadly game. The city’s shadows are darker than they appear, and surviving might cost more than just coin.
The Lies of Locke Lamora is the razor-sharp first book in the Gentleman Bastard Sequence, blending epic fantasy with high-stakes heists, riotous wit, and unforgettable camaraderie. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and The Name of the Wind.
