The Spirit Eater

The wizard and master thief can only hide for so long when a fellow wizard goes missing in a series that is ”required reading for fantasy fans” (Booklist).

After the success of his latest heist, Eli Monpress decides to lie low for a bit. Taking up residence in a tiny seaside village, Eli and his companions seize the chance for some fun and relaxation. Nico, however, is finding it hard to relax. Feeling powerless and plagued by a demon's voice, she only sees herself as a burden.

Everyone's holiday comes to an untimely close, though, when the wizard Slorn goes missing and his daughter begs Eli to help find him. But there are larger plans afoot than even Eli can see, and the real danger may be closer than anyone could imagine. If only Nico could remember whose side she's on.
