Diavosh Bassiti

A lone thief fleeing conflict is trapped in a city being torn apart by intrigue, and finds his talents gain him the unwelcome attention of vying factions. His endurance and cunning are tested to breaking point as he struggles to stay alive and the spectre of war descends. As the stakes grow higher than his own problems he faces a dilemma; can one man make a difference?

—“A richly woven Persian rug of a story”.

Divided by generations of hatred, an ancient city faces a barbarian invasion that will destroy them all. A feral orphan forced to kill and steal just to survive, manipulated by those he trusts. And at the center of everything, a master thief spins a web of treachery and deception as he is slowly consumed by madness.

Sometimes the best you can hope for is a quick death.
