Publisher Description
The first three fantastical adventures of assassin Vlad Taltos—now in one volume.
A welcome addition to any fantasy fan's library, The Book of Jhereg follows the antics of the wise-cracking Vlad Taltos and his dragon-like companion through their first three adventures—Jhereg, Yendi, and Teckla.
There are many ways for a young man with quick wits and a quick sword to advance in the world. Vlad Taltos chose the route of assassin. From his rookie days to his selfless feats of heroism, the dauntless Vlad will hold readers spellbound—and The Book of Jhereg will take its place among the classic compilations in fantasy.
Customer Reviews
Man, Vlad is just bad… man.
These are some of the best and most re-readable books I’ve ever come across.
The world Brust builds is immersive and wholly fleshed-out and original.
Very few fantasy authors can avoid writing falling into the tropes, but Brust will literally call it out to the reader when he appears to necessarily approach one.
Vlad’s sardonic humor and Brust’s wit in turning a phrase is addictive and the suspense will keep you turning page after page.
Pro tip: Read them in publishing order. It will make you respect how much he’d already built in his mind before he put pen to paper with Jhereg.
Enjoy, with our compliments.
