4.0

A thief in debt to the Takers Guild takes a job he didn’t ask for, picks up a blind cat that just might be lucky, sails on a doomed whaling ship, gets shipwrecked, falls for a witch, meets a wizard, and fights alongside a warrior who summons a giant raven from her chest tattoo.

The Blacktongue Thief is gritty, funny, full of heart, snark, and swagger; the kind of fantasy that stumbles into danger, cracks a joke, and keeps bleeding forward.

If you like your adventure tales weird, sharp, and full of misfit energy, this one’s for you.

⭐️ 4/5– Would let this bastard steal from me again.
