The Spirit Thief

Eli Monpress is a thief, and by the book's account the best of his age. He is also a wizard, which makes him a rarer kind of criminal. Charm is his main tool, and he has plenty of it.

He works with two partners. One is a swordsman who carries the most powerful magic sword in the world but has no magical ability himself. The other is a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls.

Eli has a plan, and its first stage is to raise the bounty on his own head. That means stealing bigger and bigger things. He begins modestly, with a theft nobody should notice for a while: a king.

This is a fantasy adventure with a heist at its core, told with a light, comic touch. The crew dynamic matters as much as the scheme, and the stakes rise as the thefts grow more audacious.
