Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A spellbinding novella from the acclaimed master of magic and adventure, Raymond E. Feist. Jimmy and the Crawler plunges readers back into the dark, thrilling streets of Krondor, following the escapades of one of Feist's most beloved characters, Jimmy the Hand.

The Crawler—a name whispered under breaths, cloaked in enigma and dread—has stirred unease across Krondor. In the city's most sinister alleys, a burgeoning criminal gang now threatens both the underworld's status quo and the fragile peace of the Kingdom. Amid this turmoil, Squire James of Krondor, better known in his former life as the quick-witted and nimble-fingered thief Jimmy the Hand, is tasked with unravelling the mystery behind the elusive Crawler. Trusting to his own well-honed instincts and notorious knack for deception, James sets out to navigate the treacherous landscape of crime to safeguard his city and the honour of Prince Arutha's court.

Feist's narrative interweaves high-stakes adventure with rich characterisation, revisiting old haunts and breathing life into new challenges. As James delves deeper into the shadowy realms of Krondor's criminal underbelly, alliances shift, and loyalties are tested. This gripping tale invites readers to witness a former thief turned squire as he pits his cunning against a formidable opponent.

Jimmy and the Crawler is more than a tale of magic and mystery; it is a profound exploration of identity, honour, and redemption. Fans old and new will revel in the seamless blend of intrigue, action, and the vibrant world-building that Feist has perfected over his illustrious career.

In a world where the line between law and disorder blurs, who better to outsmart a thief than the thief who once ruled the streets?
