Autor Megan Whalen Turner Steve Westen CD-Audio – 24 aug 2020 – vârsta de la 13 până la 17 ani
The thrilling, twenty-years-in-the-making conclusion to the New York Times-bestselling Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner.
The epic novels set in the world of the Queen's Thief can be read in any order.
This beloved and award-winning series began with the acclaimed novel The Thief. It and four more stand-alone volumes bring to life a world of epics, myths, and legends, and feature one of the most charismatic and incorrigible characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. Now more powerful and cunning than ever before, Eugenides must navigate a perilous future in this sweeping conclusion. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and Sarah J. Maas.
Neither accepted nor beloved, Eugenides is the uneasy linchpin of a truce on the Lesser Peninsula, where he has risen to be high king of Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis. As the treacherous Baron Erondites schemes anew and a prophecy appears to foretell the death of the king, the ruthless Mede empire prepares to strike.
The New York Times-bestselling Queen's Thief novels are rich with political machinations, divine intervention, dangerous journeys, battles lost and won, power, passion, and deception.

Recenzii
“The long-brewing Mede invasion is imminent, and the countries of the Little Peninsula, united under Eugenides as high king, muster their resources and allies to preserve their sovereignty. . . . [Turner’s] great gift for combining point of view and plot in exquisite, impeccably timed reveals is on full display: a multitude of subtle twists reconfigure not just this book but the ones that came before it. . . . [Readers will] want to revisit the other volumes armed with new, deeper understanding of the Thief and his world.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
“Turner, true to form, tantalizingly draws readers in by forcing them to draw their own inferences about character and motivation from dialogue and exposition. The tightly crafted plot produces a series of dramatic climaxes, followed by a slow and satisfying denouement that has an elegiac quality. . . . As readers bid farewell to this acclaimed series and its beloved cast of characters, it’s clear that this concluding volume serves as the keystone, inextricably linking the preceding entries together in surprising yet inevitable ways; it’s a bravura performance by one of our finest writers.” — Horn Book (starred review)
“In the final volume of the Queen’s Thief series, more than 20 years in the making, dissent and war threaten to undo the delicate union of nations Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis under Eugenides, former Thief of Eddis. . . . Turner offers an immensely satisfying series conclusion.” — Publishers Weekly
“The best time to start a series is when the final book’s done, so reach for Megan Whalen Turner’s Return of the Thief, sixth and last of the epic, quasi-classical world “Queen’s Thief” novels. For devotees of guileful, daring and romantic Eugenides: this is a satisfying, triumphant conclusion. For those yet to discover him: what a great gift!” — thestar.com
