The Scroll Thief (Tale of Ithian, #1)

This is an interesting fantasy story. With some very interesting characters and an ending that caught me by surprise.

The story starts with a family dying and a woman swearing revenge. Then moves to a thief stealing something on comission. Both of these events end up being linked and may change the future. It's a world where often Royalty are descendents from a Goddess and sometimes she has a say in their future.

The story features a lot of stock characters but they're stock characters well drawn and with good twists that make them different.
