***Imagine a world where the ordinary and the extraordinary co-exist, where tall fire-breathing salamanders live alongside men and magic runs in certain bloodlines.***
Melke is a wraith, able to walk unseen. Feared by all, hunted and hated, she has lost everything―except her younger brother. Now she is forced to do the unthinkable: in exchange for her brother's freedom, she must use her magical gift to steal.
But Melke's thieving has devastating consequence―and undoing her crime may cost Melke her own life.

**"Her haunting prose reads like Hans Christian Andersen for twenty-first century adults."**
~ Mindy Klasky, author of the Glasswrights series
Shortlisted for two RITA® Awards: Best First Book and Best Novel With Strong Romantic Elements.

### Review
**"An addictive story. There's oodles of angst as Melke realises the consequences of her well-intentioned theft; and ladles of tension when she realises how little time she has to put things right. Pleasingly standalone, gorgeously indulgent and hopelessly romantic."** ~ SFX magazine
**"Intelligent plotting delivers the goods for fantasy fans."**
~ Kirkus Reviews
What readers are saying about Thief With No Shadow:

**"The plot was creative and interesting, and though I've read enough fantasy to qualify as a geek over the years, this was fresh. I can't recommend it enough." **
**"I quickly became so engrossed that I read it in practically one sitting."**
**"An absorbing book."**
**"This story captivated me from the first page. The writing is smooth, effortless and so beautiful."**
**"I loved this novel & read it from front to back in a day."**
**"An excellent story that I found engrossing."**
**"This book is a great read and the characters are compelling. Well done!"**
**"I love this book. It is personal, magical and romantic. It might not be for everyone, but Thief With No Shadow is exactly the type of fantasy I look for and rarely find."**
**"This book was fantastic. It's gripping and it feels very, very fresh."**
### From the Author
I've recently launched a new series under my Emily Larkin penname. It's historical fantasy rather than epic fantasy―adventure, romance, magic, with Regency England as the backdrop.
