They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight.
As for Locke Lamora ....
Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn of Camorr.
The Grey King is coming.
A man would be well advised not to be caught between Capa Barsavi and The Grey King.
A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch.
And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal mastermind who runs the city.
But there are whispers of a challenge to the Capa\'s power.
Home to Dons, merchants, soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children.
Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it\'s a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries.
What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards.
Together their domain is the city of Camorr.
He steals from the rich - they\'re the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves.
And they are wrong on every count.
Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning.
They say he\'s part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor.
They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight
