Eli Monpress is vain. He's cocky. And he's a thief. But he's a thief who has just seen his bounty topped and he's not happy about it. The bounty topper, as it turns out, is his best friend and master swordsman, Josef. He's been keeping secrets from Eli. Apparently, he's the only prince of a rather feisty country, and he's been ordered to come home to do his duty. This means throwing over personal ambitions like proving he's the greatest swordsman who ever lived. Family drama aside, Eli and Josef have their hands full. The Spirit Court has been usurped by the Council of Thrones and someone calling herself the Immortal Empress is staging a massive invasion. But it's not just politics - the Immortal Empress has a specific target in mind: Eli Monpress, the greatest thief in the world. This omnibus edition contains: THE SPIRIT WAR and SPIRIT'S END
This go around I read the second half, having read the first half another time.
We find out about Eli's relationship with the Shepherdess and what she has planned, things change between all the characters and they change the world.
I like this series, like the characters and like the setting. Interesting and entertaining.
This one has been sitting on my TBR pile for a while because I didn't want the series to be over. Kinda sad now that it is.
