Thieves' World

First series book. One thunb,(the crooked bartender at The Vulgar Unicorn); Enas Yorl, magician and involuntary shape changer; Jubal, ex-gladiator and slave who is now a pillar of the community; Lythande the Star-browed (his magic is in question, his sword-play is not); Cappen Varra the Minstrel. These are just some of the unforgetable players you will meet on a stage where murder, mayhem, and skullduggery-with always a bit of magic-are the order of the day.
