“If you haven’t read [The Lies of Locke Lamora], you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss

An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges relentless danger, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentlemen Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.

Fantasy meets crime caper in the third book of a landmark, enduringly popular epic series about a roguish group of conmen, which George R. R. Martin has called “fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized," following Red Seas Under Red Skies and The Lies of Locke Lamora—now in trade paperback with a new cover!

Locke Lamora, a character George R. R. Martin has called "a charming rogue," has gotten his friends, the Gentlemen Bastards, into—and out of—enough trouble to last a few lifetimes. For Lamora, though, it's never enough. He's made an oath to rob the world blind... and have a damn good time doing it. Scott Lynch is creating a series that fans are flocking to—complete with humor, fast-paced action, and enough twists and turns to keep readers on their toes for the whole novel. And The Republic of Thieves, in which Lamora's mysterious lost love comes back to challenge him for primacy among thieves, is the long-awaited third novel of Lamora's adventures.
