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 and a demon-seed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's going to put his grand plan into effect.

Because Eli won't rest until he's amassed a fortune. Step one in his plan is to increase the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. He'll start small for now though: he'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while. Like a king

This omnibus edition contains: THE SPIRIT THIEF, THE SPIRIT REBELLION and THE SPIRIT EATER.

Reviews for Legend of Eli Monpress Omnibus

'THE SPIRIT THIEF is a delightfully giddy romp of a novel' Karen Miller 'Witty, smart, snappy, sassy, fast, furious and let's not forget fun ... Rachel Aaron isn't so much knocking at the door as kicking it down' Tom Holt 'Wry humour, engaging characters and full-tilt action' Gail Z. Martin, '[An] outstanding fantasy debut is the first in a trilogy about unrepentant thief Eli Monpress, whose goal in life is to amass $1 million in gold. Hoping to accomplish his mission in a hurry, Eli decides to raise the stakes and kidnap a king. He doesn't realize, however, that snatching the king of Mellinor (an entirely unmagical and rather boring kingdom) will set off a chain of events that will put him in peril from multiple sources, including the powerful Miranda, who is determined to catch Eli. But that's no easy trick, as Eli is also a powerful magic-user himself; his swordsman-partner Josef carries the legendary Heart of War sword; and their female associate is a demonseed whose powers are terrifying. Fast and fun, Spirit Thief introduces a fascinating new world and a complex magical system based on cooperation with the spirits who reside in all living objects. Aaron's characters are fully fleshed and possess complex personalities, motivations, and backstories that are only gradually revealed. Fans of Scott Lynch's Lies of Locke Lamora (2006) will be thrilled with Eli Monpress. Highly recommended for all fantasy readers' BOOKLIST
