The first book, Thief''s Covenant follows the story of Widdershins, a young thief who had a chance at a better life, but had to go back to thievery. She also has a god in her head, Olgun. As his only remaining follower, they will both die if she is killed. In the city of Davillion, where she lives, there is an evil monster after her. She is also in a dispute with an influential member of the Finders' Guild, the group all thieves in the city belong to. On top of all that the city watch wants to arrest her, even though she hasn't done anything illegal...well, at least not in front of them. When the Archbishop William de Laurent. comes to Davillion, his life is in danger and things get even more chaotic.
Delivered in chapters that vary between the past events that led Widdershins to abandon her name and return to the streets, and the present, in multiple perspectives, Thief's Covenant is a wonderfully crafted novel.
The characters are witty, clever, and funny. Widdershins is a great character if you want a quick, slightly smart-aleck character with potentially questionable morals, but a good heart.
The second book, False Covenant, is out and I just read it. I think it is an excellent continuation of the series. There will be a third book coming out soon.
I would recommend this book for teens thirteen or older. it has some violence, given several monster fighting scenes and some mildly inappropriate language, but it is an excellent story.
