The first in a series, The Blacktongue Thief stars snarky-but-sentimental thief named Kinch Na Shannack. He has a black tongue, some decent fiddle chops, and a whole lot of debt to a thief school known as “The Takers Guild.” To pay his debts, Kinch must join a knight name Galva on a secret quest that will test his loyalties and his ethics — especially after he adopts a blind cat that turns out to be just so much trouble.
You may better know Christopher Buehlman for his horror titles like 2016’s fan-darling Suicide Motor Club or the cult classic Between Two Fires. Buehlman is out of his cage a bit here, with his first 100%-fantasy genre novel (The Necromancer’s House had fantastical elements and Between Two Fires was a sword-and-shield novel but neither were full-blood fantasy)
