Eli Monpress is vain. He''s cocky. And he''s a thief.But he''s a thief who has just seen his bounty topped and he''s not happy about it. The bounty topper, as it turns out, is his best friend and master swordsman, Josef. He''s been keeping secrets from Eli. Apparently, he''s the only prince of a rather feisty country, and he''s been ordered to come home to do his duty. This means throwing over personal ambitions like proving he''s the greatest swordsman who ever lived. Family drama aside, Eli and Josef have their hands full.

Eli Monpress is talented. He''s charming. And he''s a thief.

But not just any thief. He''s the greatest thief of the age—and he''s also a wizard. And with the help of his partners—a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls—he''s going to put his plan into effect.

The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he''ll need to steal some big things. But he''ll start small for now. He''ll just steal something that no one will miss—at least for a while.

Like a king.
