The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman
The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman follows an indebted thief and a battle-hardened knight on a dangerous fantasy adventure. Goblin wars, stag-sized battle ravens, and assassins armed with deadly tattoos shape a world where picking the wrong pocket can change your fate.
Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education in lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, and a few small magics. Desperate to pay his debt, he waits beside an old forest road to rob the next traveler.
Unfortunately for Kinch, that traveler is Galva: a knight, survivor of the goblin wars, and handmaiden of the goddess of death. She is searching for her queen, who disappeared when a distant northern city fell to giants.
Kinch survives his failed robbery, but his fate becomes tangled with Galva’s. Common enemies force thief and knight onto an epic journey through a world of flesh-hungry goblins, krakens in dark waters, and dangers that make honor a luxury few can afford.
