The King of Attolia: Queen's Thief

Megan Whalen Turner is an award winning and bestselling author of six standalone novels set in the world of the Queen's Thief. Her books have been awarded the Mythopoeic Prize for Children's Literature, the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Young Adult Literature, a Newbury Honor, and a Horn Book/Globe Honor. She has twice been shortlisted for the Andre Norton Award. Satisfying for readers of all ages, Turner's books are filled with political machinations and divine intervention, friendship, fortitude and deceit. It is a testament to their staying power that fans who fell in love with the Thief in 1996 have spent twenty-five years eagerly awaiting his Return. Turner lives (usually) on the shores of Lake Erie in the United States.
