Change is not always as good as a rest After the events in Jotuk at the end of Quaestor, Anarya is no longer a Sponger but is now a Thiever - when she takes someone's magic talent they lose it until she can no longer hold on to it. Worryingly, the power also brings a desperate hunger to take others' talents, just as the false god did. As Anarya struggles to control the compulsion, Yisul is fraught with worry and seeks help for her lover. But Jotuk is in upheaval; the Twenty-Three families are in disarray, divided over how the city should be governed. In Carregis, the king takes advantage of the deaths of the Three, the cabal who previously controlled him, and seeks to establish himself as an effective ruler. First, though, he must work out whom he can trust. Meanwhile, the priestesses of Quarenna and the priests of Huler are having disturbing dreams... Thiever is the much-anticipated sequel to David M Allan's Quaestor. Cover artwork by Alison Buck

Autorenporträt
David M Allan got hooked on reading at a young age by borrowing to the max - 3 books, twice a week - from the public library. He was caught up and transported to fabulous other worlds by the likes of Wells, Verne and Burroughs (and later by Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlein, Le Guin, Wyndham...). Alas, the journeys were temporary and he had to return to Earth.His love affair with science fiction and fantasy had him thinking vaguely about writing but he didn't follow through until after retirement and his relocation, with wife and cat, to a houseboat on the Thames. It was reading one book which he didn't think was very good that led him to say "I could do better than that" and then setting out to prove it. David has since had a number of short stories published in online magazines, and his debut novel The Empty Throne published by Elsewhen Press. Quaestor, his second novel, and Thiever, its sequel have also been published by Elsewhen Press. Unlike his previous novels, The Magic Is Always With Us is set in the land of his birth... well, sort of!
