DISCOVER THE START OF AN EPIC FANTASY TRILOGY THAT BEGINS WITH A HEIST AND QUICKLY EXPLODES INTO A FULL-TILT, LAST-DITCH PLAN TO SAVE HUMANITY

The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn introduces Ardor Benn, an extraordinary thief and master of wildly complex heists. Known as a Ruse Artist Extraordinaire, Ardor embarks on his most daring ruse yet. Realising he'll need more than his quick wit and sleight of hand, he assembles a dream team of forgers, disguisers, schemers, and thieves to steal from the most powerful king the realm has ever seen.

As the mission unfolds, Ardor discovers there's more at stake than just fame and glory; Ardor and his team might be the last hope for human civilisation.
