Teacup is an acquisitioner, not a thief. Admittedly, the nuance doesn't play well with the town guards, but they have bigger concerns than one washed-up roof-artist. When Teacup meets Magnus, a naïve, young paladin on the run, he must decide if anonymity is worth the price of watching friends die.
Cross between Tolkien's The Hobbit and Dragonlance Chronicles, with a hint of Terry Pratchett.
