THE RETURN OF THE MASTER THIEF
The player takes the role of Master Thief Garrett once again in this sequel.

Garrett is a lone thief and has his own way of approaching various missions. He uses stealth, darkness and silence along with a number of weapons as well as various techniques as he is almost a legend among his kind, and the guards my seem to be always after him. Garrett is not much of a bad guy as he steals mostly from the richest people in the society ...
I was quite intrigued by the title of this book. Was it called 'The Good Thief' because it was about a thief who was very good at stealing or was it about someone who, even though he was a thief, was innately a good person.

Eventually they end up stealing bodies from graves and selling ...

Demon thief is a book focused mainly on revealing the mystery of the disciples, but even more so tells us about the life of a very interesting young man who though weak in traditional magic is more powerful then a Demon Master in some ways.
The tale begins with Kernel Fleck, a lonely boy who has always been different, outcast and with no ...
