About the Book
"Being a halfborn? Bad. Being a Magi? Illegal. Seeking revenge on the head of the Mage Hunters for killing your mother? Well, that makes Asher of Steel Rim completely insane."--Book Synopsis
"An exciting fantasy adventure and a great start to a promising new series." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Asher of Steel Rim might be a halfway-decent thief, but he's not exactly the realm's most popular guy.
As an outcast among outcasts, some hate him for his scale-tipped, pointed ears. Others wish him dead because he's a magi in a land where those born with etherarchy are outlawed.
In the wild, desert wastelands of Drakfell, Asher finally finds the opportunity he's been waiting for: A chance to avenge his mother's death by taking down the legendary leader of the Mage Hunters herself.
The Black Valkyrie.
To get his shot, Asher joins a crew of Knights determined to steal a true dragon egg. But Asher's journey of personal vengeance lands him right in the middle of a war that goes far beyond anything he could've imagined.
Dragon Thief is a dragon rider epic fantasy with dragons that Paolini would be proud of, a cast of characters that would keep Riordan turning the page, and a magic system that would make Brandon Sanderson say, "...nice."
This book is perfect for readers who loved Eragon and Mistborn.

"Once I met Asher I was hooked. Charming characters, engaging story, fun dialogue, and some great twists along the way. If you've enjoyed any of Brandon Sanderson's series, this is a must-read. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars!"
