From Nebula, Sturgeon, and StorySouth Award nominee Jake Kerr comes an epic fantasy story in the spirit of pulp fiction classics--a serial adventure that grows in scope every week. The Thieves Guild tells the story of Ralan, a street rat who quickly rises to become the guildmaster of the seemingly powerless and symbolic Thieves Guild. This full cast fantasy audio drama features a rich world of geographical conflict, political intrigue, swashbuckling adventure, secret societies, and heroic feats. The Thieves Guild is the story of a young man thrust into a role he never expected to fill. Produced by In Shambles Productions for Broadsword Books. You can find the ebook and paperback versions of The Thieves Guild here.
