![]() ![]() ![]() On pain of death, Jute is cautioned to not open the box. Down the chimney, sneak through the house, find the box, and get out fast. One night, in the city of Hearne, a young thief named Jute is instructed to steal an old wooden box from a rich man's house. Before I tell you the entire story here's the "official" summary: She turns out to be much more than just a Duke's niece and her story is intertwined with the Dark. Levoreth, the niece of the Duke of Dolan, is a reincarnation of the Levoreth that lived years ago, as were all other Levoreth's before her (every daughter is named Levoreth in this family). The Dark is what combines all these stories. He is a magician, who uses his magic for his own purposes, leaning on the Dark for this. Another story line follows Nio's "quest" to get the box back. He isn't however and falls into the hands of Nio, to whom the box belonged. He has to steal a box, but he ends up being "killed". The first and most central is the story of Jute, a boy who is part of the Thief Guild. The Hawk and His Boy consist out of four different stories that are all interlinked. It has everything I would expect in a fantasy-book and it's an amazing first part of a trilogy. ![]() Christopher was kind enough to let me review this book for him and I don't know whether I have ever been so exited about a review-book. ![]()
