"I'm hiring you to steal the king's crown."
Ardor Benn is no ordinary thief. Rakish, ambitious, and master of wildly complex heists, he styles himself a Ruse Artist Extraordinaire.
When a priest hires him for the most daring ruse yet, Ardor knows he'll need more than quick wit and sleight of hand. Assembling a dream team of forgers, disguisers, schemers, and thieves, he sets out to steal from the most powerful king the realm has ever known.
But it soon becomes clear there's more at stake than fame and glory -Ard and his team might just be the last hope for human civilization.

Postponed for now. I don't like this other half of the book as much as the first part. Plus the romance aspect is really annoying me.
Ardor Benn is supposed to be charismatic and brilliant - everybody in the book, and the narration, talk him up as being both. But in practice he's just manipulative, inconsiderate, and comes up with schemes that are dull and badly thought out. That really sank the book, since I found that I didn't want to spend time with the protagonist and he wasn't doing anything that interesting anyway.
