Welcome to Baelon... A world turned upside down, where nothing's as it seems and everything's at risk.
The skilled thieves of the Takers Guild plot to overthrow the kingdoms of Baelon, but when their plans are thwarted by a prescient woman and her brooding daughter, they must turn to the League of Assassins for assistance. Meanwhile, retired royal guard Rolft Aerns returns to the palace of King Axil with an old score to settle. When they all cross paths-and swords-in the dark shadows of Fostead's south end, the murder count rises quickly.
The long fingers of the Guild reach everywhere, and one overly ambitious thief is all it takes to spark a chain of events that will haunt the world of Baelon for many years to come.
This is a tale of good vs. evil, with an ensemble cast of complex characters--relatable heroes and villains--all struggling to control their world. A dash of grim dark, a bit of mystery, and a pinch of romance color the world of Baelon, where loyalty and treachery live under the same roof; where friendships are formed and tested, true love is made to wait, and dangerous secrets are held close to allegiant hearts.
Six Moons, Seven Gods is book one in The Legends of Baelon.
